Colab between Ryan McBeth and Legal Eagle Colab between Ryan McBeth and Legal Eagle

It seems a lot of Russian YouTubers are still monetised. How is this legal? Surely the sanctions should prevent this?

Ryan McBeth was keen for a colab based on his response on twitter, but is seems Legal Eagle isn't on twitter anymore so the Legal Eagle team may be unaware?

Not just YouTube, they all seem to have Patreon accounts etc too. It would be interesting to know what the legality of this is, what agencies could take action or, if there could be civil actions taken against the social media and other companies too?

It would be a fascinating video, Ryan lines them up and Legal Eagle knocks them down (or at least gives a view on what could be done).

Any suggestions as to how to get the Legal Eagle team interested would be appreciated.




Am I too pessimistic? Am I too pessimistic?

I saw the guilty verdict just like everyone else did but I only felt worse. I immediately thought "That appeals process is gonna get extended just long enough to get him across the finish line in November. This'll be the most historically significant And One ever." I get that we all need a win rn but like, y'all are giving me flashbacks to when Biden won in 2020. Like, yeah it's great Trump got handed an L but this isn't even the actual battle. He's still coming back and he ain't alone. Legislation is being passed that's taking away our right to protest and we're losing more mediums of digital communication to organize. I get he got handed an L here but it's not a big one. Not as big as the ones we're all taking. Or am I just being a killjoy dick?

Humble Bundle holding your license for X time indefinitely Humble Bundle holding your license for X time indefinitely

People can buy steam games from humble bundle. But there’s been cases where Humble Bundle won’t give you your product because they’re out of stock. They will list the product, let you buy it, and then you’re stuck waiting for who knows how long.

The below link is seven years long. That’s wild to me. That’s the most extreme example i know but who knows how widespread that is for humble bundle. I’m not OP there.

Are there consumer protections against this kind of thing or did we already sign our rights away somewhere? A person says the cost would outweigh the claim, but i just want a second opinion.

Does Sony ea Microsoft ask to link to steam account for legal reasons? Does Sony ea Microsoft ask to link to steam account for legal reasons?

You may be aware of the recent game hell divers 2 debacle where although its on the steam page that a Sony account is required to play it wasn't enforced until after launch. My question is why do they ask for consent? Why don't they just automatically create and link their service to the steam account? I assume it's a legal issue where they have to ask for consent.



What LegalEagle video am I looking for? What LegalEagle video am I looking for?

I'm looking for a LegalEagle video where he mentioned that one cannot simply declare something an opinion, when it objectively is a statement of fact, in order to get out of liability for spreading false statements of fact. He punctuated this with a clip from "King of the Hill" where Peggy and Hank are arguing about whether or not the best something-related-to-fire was Peggy's opinion or an objective fact.

Does anyone know what that video is?







Could a doctor lose his medical license and/or face criminal charges for offering alcohol to a 19-year-old female with whom he intended to have sexual intercourse? Could a doctor lose his medical license and/or face criminal charges for offering alcohol to a 19-year-old female with whom he intended to have sexual intercourse?

[All details described here are alleged by the female to have occurred in New York in September of 2021.]

The female maintains that she met and had sexual intercourse with a doctor who offered her alcohol. She was 19 at the time, the doctor was 31.

She and the doctor “matched” on the dating app, Bumble, which clearly displayed her age as 19. That dating app requires the selection of age-range parameters by users seeking matches with other users. The minimum age on the filter is 18, so if the doctor set the lowest parameter at 18 or 19 up to X, then it is fair to assume he knew he might be matched with females under the age of 21. Bumble also requires that the female make first contact, which she did by messaging, “Hi.” The doctor responded about an hour later with, “Hey.”

However, she was immediately skeptical that she was being Catfished, since she recognized his real name as a
rather well known, medical influencer on YouTube, so they agreed to exchange phone numbers. They then spoke on FaceTime; at which point her skepticism was assuaged that it was indeed him. She found it strange though that immediately after he messaged her with, “Hey,” and she replied to him, he “unmatched” her
on Bumble, yet he continued to talk to her on FaceTime. At one point in the FaceTime conversation, he informed her that his “apartment was hot” and proceeded to remove his shirt. He also informed her that he would not send her nudes online in order to protect his reputation. After a few more minutes of chatting, he invited her to his home.

The female is not a full-time resident of New York and was staying at an Airbnb. She told the doctor she did
not have access to a car and that she would have to take an Uber to his home. He advised against it. He told her since it was a Saturday night in New York City, the Ubers would be expensive, so he would travel to her.

During their chat, she clearly stated that she did ~not~ drink alcohol and asked that he respect that. He
agreed.

She provided the doctor with the address of the Airbnb, and about half an hour later, he arrived holding a
black, plastic bag. She buzzed him in, and he greeted her with, “Hi, I’m M---!” (At no point did he try to conceal his identity.) Once inside the apartment, the doctor produced a bottle of Pink Lemonade Vodka from the black, plastic bag. The female was immediately put off since she had ~clearly~ stated to him on FaceTime that she did ~not~ drink alcohol. Nevertheless, she decided to “just let it go.” They engaged in sexual intercourse, and he left soon after.

The next day she posted her detailed sexual encounter with “the famous YouTube doctor” in an online forum saying that she had had sex with him and indicated that he had offered her alcohol against her wishes. A
member of that forum answered her with this message: “…he’s [the doctor] been sent a copy of that detailed message, so…fake or real, Good luck, love!” One would not be unreasonable to assume that that statement might be interpreted as intimidation. Furthermore, intimidation from this high-profile YouTube doctor
is highly probable given his past behavior. Apparently, this doctor has a history of grooming young women he meets online, (e.g., dating apps, OnlyFans), having sex with them, and having them sign NDAs once the “relationship” is over. She, however, was ~not~ asked to sign an NDA.

Bottom line: She has the “receipts” as they say, text messages, his private phone number, and other personal
information about his person, e.g., he is uncircumcised. She has had no contact with him since this encounter, and, he has had no contact with her.

So, if she decided to come forward now, three years later, what ~could be~ the legal ramifications for him for offering alcohol to a 19-year-old with whom he was intent on having sexual intercourse? If he were reported to the medical board for his behavior, could he lose his medical license and/or face criminal charges? How might she protect herself from intimidation/retaliation?

In view of the foregoing, I have created a different account for myself for the express purpose of posting in
this forum.

Your advice is appreciated. Thank you!
