But nobody, except Jim makes a living from FR. Thus, there is not tangible harm from being zotted without warning. Indeed, FR republic supports a variety of viewpoints. YouTube was Stephan M’s income source. There is a huge difference in a forum where you don‘t receive income and a platform for your business. Especially since the creators own the content they place on YouTube. By not allowing him access they are stealing. Posting here is not even lose to comparable.
Did he have a contract? Did YouTube violate the contract? If that's the issue, then this is a simple question of contract law. Stephan M can sue them and if they breached his contract he'll win. If there isn't a breach but he's just whining that they should *have* to do business with him for a some reason, then he's just a pathetic loser. Nobody has to do business with anybody.
And he ought to be damned grateful YouTube let him use their platform for free for as long as they did.
How many billions do you think they've invested in their technology?
Do you think Stefan has a right to use it for his benefit?
