Assuming the claims are false, there's civil liability here. You can't abuse the DMCA system
the organization that DMCA'ed a dozen Twitch streamers last night during the debate on behalf of CBS, Political Praxis Legal, has scrubbed its entire webpage and gone offline, and a Twitch spokesperson says they are reviewing the case for false DMCA claims

Some have faith in the system and that everyone is entitled to a defense. Some believe in a bag. Others, like myself, try to choose our clients wisely so we never have to make a choice between the first two.

With no stream for Challengers, and therefore no meaningful airtime for an org's sponsors to be showcased, the sole value proposition for an org to fund a Challenger team is the chance to win prize money. That's a terrible model. Hopefully that changes with a CDL stream deal
No official stream for challengers however featured matches at the venue will be cut in throughout the weekend in between pro league matches

Yes, though even if you do have agents/managers, get a lawyer. Most agents/managers floating around this space aren't attorneys yet they're reviewing contracts. Outside of the commercial points, this can get risky
If you work in esports, gaming and entertainment but don't have agents or management...GET A LAWYER.
Trust...less BS you'll have to deal with while having one.

This x100. Investors are wary of the potential instability of esports, and while a franchised league offers more stability in some regards, the failure of a league posited as the future of esports highlights a top-level instability risk for the medium, whether rightly or wrongly
OW fans wonder why us non OW fans care so much about OWL. It's simple, it has been touted as the future of esports, it has brought millions in investment into the space. If it fails, it will send shockwaves to the mainstream, not that OWL is a bad investment, but that esports is.

Yet another example of why players should have an attorney review their contracts
An eSports contract I've just reviewed:
"Sign a 2y, exclusive contact and we will pay you exactly $0 but give you free gear. We take 10% of your winnings and if you don't win $ you have to refund us a % of the travel expenses from the event."
Disgusting.

This headline *wildly* overstates the guidance from the NLRB, which includes several commonly utilized exceptions. This isn't the death knell to NDAs/confidentiality that many are making it out to be.
If you're planning on sharing anything, discuss with your lawyer first
That blanket NDA you signed years ago to get severance? It's void now, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

Some important notes re the fund:
- applies to events with qualifying expenses of $250,000 or more
- awards are capped at 25% of the qualifying expenses
- Number of employees that are permanent residents of NC is considered in determining priority

100% this. And if you do hire a lawyer like myself to review your contracts, read it anyway. Ask questions. It's your career, own it. It also helps crystallize your individual concerns to your attorney who can then ensure those concerns are addressed in the contract.

I cannot overstate the importance of obtaining a trademark registration for your brand if you're a content creator. Without a registered trademark, it is far easier for ANY platform to remove/change your handle if another creator indicates that they have rights to that brand.
Kick has allegedly taken the username of another streamer on their platform and given it to a more popular Twitch streamer

A person was killed over drama that started over a $2 wager. Let that sink in. Swatting isn't funny, nor is it a way to get revenge on someone. Its a crime, plain and simple. A person's actions on the internet have consequences, and I sincerely hope prosecution is heavy handed
An argument over a Call of Duty wager leads to a deadly swatting incident after a false address was posted.
