Patreon Loses! What It Means for Dr. Disrespect and Twitch (VL278)

Описание: In losing its case to prevent 72+ individuals from bringing arbitration claims against it, Patreon has found itself in the unenviable position of having to bear enormous legal costs to defend what it no doubt sees as frivolous claims. But Patreon is not the only company with such exposure.

And since one of the biggest (Twitch) just recently riled up an even bigger fan base when it elected to ban Dr. Disrespect, there can be no question that both Twitch and the Disrespect team are following the case closely.

What does it all mean? Let's dive in.

The only place to find the "Patreon Difficulty Bucket" is in...Virtual Legality.
