Forums - Gaming - Developer Sues Critic Jim Sterling For US$10 Million

I mean honestly, those videos can definitely be seen as harassment, even if I think Jim's points are right, so they may have a case. It definitely isn't just about the games. He targets the developer explicitly and he's relentless.

$10m though?

That doesn't match any legal definition of harassment you'll find.

It's only harassment if you can't actually avoid it. A video can't even in principle be harassment because you're entirely free to just not watch it.

90% of so called "internet harassment" is bullshit for this reason. Most of it you can avoid if you want to. If anyone's guilty of harassment in this case, it's one of Sterling's more creepy fans. That's not his fault, it's theirs.

Not really the law is the law. Copyright theft, slander, etc. He really has no legal defense for this.

If that were true then every lets player is breaking the law...

Why do you think any ip holder can claim videos on youtube jeez? You cannot make videos of copyrighted works without the premission of the holder.
