I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has had that experience with that specific channel.

I've been geeking out on IP law for a while now and I remember watching a LegalEagle video on how Disney might lose the rights to Spiderman or something like that.

And in that video, he confused/conflated the Copyright Act of 1976 with the Copyright Term Extension act which was passed in 1998. (He said that the 1976 one was the "life's work" of Sonny Bono. The one that was the "life's work" of Sonny was the 1998 act.) And I can't say I'm that much of an expert on any branch of law, but I knew off the top of my head that that was wrong (and did a bunch of searching right after to make sure I wasn't the one who was confused.)

So, yeah, it seems like the accuracy of the content on his channel is quite suspect.

But…her emails.

To be fair though, America is fucked .

Check out the 5-4 podcast. They know what's up.

From what I remember hearing people say he's mostly alright, but occasionally gets things wrong or gives the wrong take when something is not in his field of specialization.

I think the Hasbro OGL scandal last year was one instance of him missing the point and not doing his research, for example.

You're being unnecessarily pedantic about your second point. To most people an "email account" is going to mean an email address and mailbox, which is what she had, on her insecure personal email server.

Reason 1: ???? Reason 2: A different person mixed up email account with email server

Damn, that's unforgivable. What a fraud.
