I think I'll wait to hear what RD has to say before forming an opinion.

I am the lawyer for teaearlgreyhot.

"LOL" is the intellectual property of teaearlgreyhot. Cease and desist your infringing activities immediately.

Sincerly,

If it's multiple, then you know it's serious.

Whoever handles his channel must have been seriously incompetent, or just an outright thief.

I think you are taking this way too seriously... who the fuck cares? It is only youtube... you are acting like he raped his neighbour's sister's dog.

I checked his website. Only has one announcement putting up yet another youtube channel.

The silence is deafening.

I bet they are trying to get him for his own lectures. I've heard YouTube taking down videos for similar reasons.

So, RD is suing Upper Branch (Josh Timonen) + others. Upper Branch apparently has filed DCMA takedown notices against RDF, in response, I would presume.

Standard legal pissing contest, I'd say. Furthermore, if the allegations in the complaint are true, Upper Branch is fucked. As I haven't heard their (his) side of the story, I wouldn't want to suggest that the allegations are true.

ETA: That suit was dropped quite some time ago (RD says because litigation was proving too costly, JT claims for lack of evidence). If you're implying that the youtube takedown was somehow a result of some court action connected to this case, it would appear that you're quite mistaken.

Good to see they already have a new channel up and hopefully things will get sorted out.
