[up]With Brad I think it's due to the fact that the Walker Brothers helped him through a tough stage of his life so he feels indebted to them.

I'm surprised Michaud hasn't sued Lewis for having "Lester the Bum".

While it's intrinsically tied to Doug Walker, that's really a better fit for the general thread rather than this one that is more focused on Doug Walker's specific properties.

I'm not. I do, however, suspect they were cherry-picked.

Meh, they really don't have to be. A lot of what is written in the screen shots doesn't actually contradict the accusation.

[up] Most notably, the "we fired the groomer three weeks after we found out" screenshot doesn't say that at all. It says "we fired him three weeks after we decided to fire him."

So let’s say this results in Doug needing to divorce himself from CA, the Critic, etc all.

What does he realistically do? Man can’t create an original idea to save his life. Who hires him?

As I said before, the most mutually beneficial thing would be for Michaud to sell the NC rights back to him for a tidy profit.

If he can't get the IP back, then honestly, I think the ideal place for him would be writing comedy for skit or TV series.

and the Critic?

The critic still gets an average of 400k to half a million views a day.

Like, I know it's cool to go all "He sucks and his videos suck", but people are clearly watching those.

Honestly, the Walkers and Michaud have acted incredibly stupidly here. This was about to blow over and then they released that, ahem, 'refutation' (or attempt) and now this is blowing up something fierce all over again.

Michaud really can't let people think he's wrong, so he has to correct them.

Of course, he is wrong, so his bad attempts at proving his critics wrong have just worsened everyone's opinion of him.

What was Doug's job before he started working on web videos full time? The one he so memorably quit in that one early video?

We should also remember that it is likely a lot of his viewers aren't aware of the CA meltdown, especially when they watch him on You Tube. And even if they watch him on CA, the meltdown would not neccesarily be obvious if they go directly to the NC page.

I mean, I only know about it because of this thread, and maybe I would have noticed Linkara's message, but otherwise, probably wouldn't so far.

At this point I think most of his fans know something is going on,especially when they visit youtube and see all the videos

Envyus: The evidence is Cherry Picked, as Holly pointed out. So that is at least one lie from there they were directly caught in.

I mean I'll believe it, I just dont' think it proves anything.

A lot of the proof is the equivalent of going

"Hey we have a problem with ABC"

" Here is proof that B actually was X"

it's a very shitty argument serve that doesn't actually invalidate any argument made. It doesn't matter if you call it B, or X, the fact that it happened is the complaint, not the specificity of how it was framed.
