I have been a long time viewer and subscriber of Troys. I enjoy his videos. I have been roughly keeping up with the "troll issues" over the years but it seems those issues have went over into harassment, vandalism, and more. Troy doesn't seem to have the time and ability to gather enough evidence for a lawsuit so I am calling out to his viewers and fans.
First off, keep ALL action LEGAL. When gathering evidence, gather more than needed and keep it in context. Screenshots, documents, videos, threats, whatever. Keep local copies and share with others so they can keep copies too. Share also so they can be obtained by Troy. We also need to be considering gathering up funds to hire a lawyer for Troy to handle any legal actions against the "trolls". We need to put real names to the YouTube accounts of the trolls. We need to gather writing samples of the "trolls" so we can better spot the person even if they change their YouTube account.
Besides gathering evidence, we need to take action. If we see any comments that are harassing, we need to report it. If we see any videos that are harassing, we need to report it. If we find any videos that use more than that is allowed for "fair use", we need to alert Troy so he can enforce his rights to the content. I will say it again, keep all actions legal. We are here to end this injustice once and for all, not create more injustice. Keep your temper to yourself.
This thread is basically a place where viewers and fans can point to gathered evidence and point to videos that may be infringing on the rights of Troy. I will try to link to important posts within this thread in this first post. Since I do have a life to live, this effort will be when I have the time. I will keep up with it though.
