Furie demanded over $2 million in damages





Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - June 10, 2019
Infowars has settled the Pepe the Frog lawsuit with creator Matt Furie for a “licensing fee” of just $15,000, a tiny amount considering Furie’s lawyers had demanded over $2 million in damages.
The Pepe creator and his legal team – Hillary Clinton’s law firm – were looking for a jury trial and over $2 million dollars in damage, but ended up with a relatively tiny settlement. Jones also saved hundreds of thousands in potential legal fees.

Wow! That is going to bankrupt INFOWARS.
That is the Bar Tab when the crew goes on the road.

Infowars is bankrupting itself. They had the most reach they ever hoped of having over the last 2-3 years. There is no more target audience left that does not know what their selling.


If Infowars folds, it's on them and their business practices.

Hillary Clinton doesn't have a law firm.

Furie is represented in these matters by a team from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, led by attorneys Louis Tompros and Don Steinberg. They are representing him pro bono. “From our client’s perspective, the message that he wants to make clear is that Pepe the Frog does not belong to the alt-right,” said Tompros.

Agreed, which is why I didn't understand all the whining they were doing about YouTube. Clearly they are big enough to host their own stuff and could control the rules around that.


I still think they only have about 5-10 more years max. The main guy is on the verge of blowing a vessel, a heart attack, or stroke every day. I don't know his name, tried listening but if I wanted to hear about space aliens and crack theories I have better options that don't require a person YELLING for hours on end.

They are probably watching in the same way that people used to go and watch side shows and circuses.

People love to see curiosities and the unhinged.


I love that Alex Jones considers handing over $15,000, a 'victory'. LOL.

Youtube is trying to become the next NETFLIX
YouTube(Google) runs commerce throughout the world. This is the start of the Social Credit Scoring Police State. The new Marxist push, to punish all that go against their MASTERS politically. To have the MASTERS thrown out and Liberty return, from the Police State....
Google, Facebook & Twitter, collude with each other to dominate humanity.
Those invited included Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. White House officials confirmed all those on the guest list were present.

Why was Jones the only one, they went after?
Look how many times Pepe has been used, without licensing fees.
Millions if not Trillions.


At $15,000 a pop, this guy is going to be rich, once he stops dragging his feet. LOL!
Jones, is that dangerous, to the political machine. He is the only one sued.

The Lunatic Left thinks, Infowars, Crowder, Loomer, Yaxley, Milo... are the gateway drugs, to the Red Pill. - Dangerous.
Portrayed as bad people with ideas. Instead of the rational & civilized, "People with bad ideas", which creates verbal debate and inquiry to find truth. Notice the deplatforming to silence a voice?

I would agree if barrier to entry was high in the tech industry. In reality Mass Entry into tech is as cheap as it gets, much more so than battling Monsanto or Bayer for a foothold. Therefore there is ample opportunity for others without those requirements to enter.

Out of all the companies you listed, non of those companies outside of Apple and Oracle have a base that bought into anything. Therefore customers entry and exit are free of the pressures that keep people locked into a platform. Best examples are: Zappos, Myspace, Digg and many, many more.

I don't share your concern considering how fragile the relationship between these companies and the public is.
