Dr. Dave Shares Secrets on DMA Sunday Livestream

YouTuber Dr. Dave appeared courteous and polite on Sunday’s live stream where he shared the air with Chistopher “Denver Metro Audits” Cordova, Zachary “Liberty Troll” Kueker and that Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq., on Cordova’s channel, apparently forgetting that he’s being sued by two of the three men and giving out information that may have doomed others who will be targeted by the trio.

The livestream was scheduled as a simple update of Cordova’s on-going lawsuits and was winding down after a series of short updates when Dr. Dave joined the panel.

Cordova had spent much of the time complaining about how members of the public saw Jonathan “Frauditor Troll” Hudon-Huneault’s wife as “hot” while not applying the same term to his ex-girlfriend, Theresa “Sweet T” Neal.

Cordova and Newman also shared criticism of Hudon-Huneault’s e-begging to fund his defense against the lawsuit Cordova brought against him, after Hudon-Huneault has spent years criticizing auditors for fundraising off their needs to defend themselves in court.

Attorney Newman took issue with California based attorney Patrick J. D’Arcy, after it was revealed that D’Arcy did not disclose that he had been paid by Hudon-Huneault when he attempted to file a “friend of the court” brief last month to interject himself into the Cordova vs. Hudon-Huneault lawsuit.

Newman also mocked the fair use idea as a defense. Indicating that if Hudon-Huneault were somehow to prevail in his lawsuit with a “fair use” defense, the pair could simply open a new channel, play popular TV shows or movies in 6-minute chunks and add an emoji or short commentary to break up the segments and qualify for the same protections.

Shortly after a mention of Dr. Dave’s partner Gail Buma, who is being sued by Kueker for taking responsibility for Dr. Dave’s channel in DMCA counterclaims, the pair would be joined by Dr. Dave and, later, Kueker.

After pleasantries, Dr. Dave stated that he had no real problems with First Amendment auditors, other than those who camp outside of banks, dispensaries and restaurants for content. He made the point that interfering with day-to-day activities to create conflict for content really wasn’t the purpose of auditing.

Dr. Dave mentioned that he had been making changes to his life, as he was nearly 71 years old, had stopped drinking beer two years ago, and was retired with YouTube as a “hobby” and not a job. While he admitted he wouldn’t be making videos if he wasn’t profiting from them, he again characterized his activities as a hobby.

When asked about the lawsuit that Newman is handling for Liberty Troll, Dr. Dave facetiously disavowed any knowledge of Gail Buma, who he had previously described as his “partner” on his own livestream.

He also denied having any contact with attorney D’Arcy, despite D’Arcy’s statements in his proposed “friend of the court” brief that he had been directly contacted by Dr. Dave among other defendants in the lawsuits that Newman had filed. Dr. Dave would continue to deny any connection with D’Arcy throughout the livestream.

Kueker then joined the panel and Dr. Dave claimed that his recent targeting of Kueker’s video had nothing to do with the pending legal action between Kueker and Buma, but just the natural subject matter that comes and goes from his channel.

He explained, as an example, that while he’s done about 20 videos on Cordova, and a significant number of videos on YouTuber Audit Them, with both men no longer being featured on his channel as they had rotated out of his natural subject lineup.

Dr. Dave added that he was currently featuring a number of Kueker-related videos. As part of his coverage, he would take the most important parts of Kueker’s videos to highlight for his audience, then break them into chunks, inserting commentary to abide by the so-called “fair use” doctrine.

He also claimed that he was not providing a market substitute for Kueker’s videos as none of his viewers would ever watch his channel instead of Kueker’s channels as they had no interest in Kueker’s channel.

After inquiring about Dr. Dave’s creative process and what software he uses to produce videos, Kueker, Cordova and Newman all individually attempted to get Dr. Dave to admit which software he used to download videos off of YouTube. He declined to respond to their inquiries.

Finally, Dr. Dave shared a Google search result with Attorney Newman which featured Attorney Robert Reed, who is being sued by both Cordova and Kueker for filling out counter DMCA requests taking responsibility for the channel owned by Frauditor Roundup.

The search revealed that Attorney Reed is connected to counterdmca.com, a website that offers YouTubers the ability to use Reed’s Law Office address for a small fee to replace their own address on a DMCA counternotice.

It also offers services where Reed would fill out the DMCA notice on behalf of the YouTuber. While the website makes it clear that users are not retaining the Law Office of Robert Reed’s services other than as a contact agent in the DMCA process.

Newman stated on the livestream that Attorney Reed had given him Frauditor Roundup’s name and information, he would not be sharing that information with anyone, including his clients.

It is unclear if further action will be taken to alert based on the revelation of the connection between Attorney Reed and counterdmca.com.

Update: The counterdmca.com link returns a “404 File Not Found” link as of Monday evening.
