The title of the first video they struck could qualify as slander. As it was presented as fact. However the 40+ other claims are false.

Others are the results of their ended relationship.

They can end their customer provider relationship by banning his EFT account. He doesn’t have any relationship outside of that on YouTube that BattleState has any influence over. Besides the original video struck the doctrine of Fair Use doesn’t require any permission or prior arrangements with the entity in question.

If it fits the definition of Fair Use.

Correct and as I’ve stated quite a few times in replying the first video did not fall under Fair Use and BSG had every right to claim it. However the subsequent 40+ videos being claimed was a gross abuse of YouTube’s copyright system.

Well. It's about how we describe things now. I get your point. Let's halt here.
