Attorney that Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq., made headlines again Thursday morning as he filed yet another lawsuit on behalf of his clients, this time filing a suit on behalf of Liberty Troll LLC against YouTuber Frauditor RoundUp and RoundUp’s attorney of record, Robert Alan Reed.
The lawsuit itself reflects other lawsuits filed by Newman as it alleges copyright infringement, but, as with other recent Newman authored lawsuit, it also claims misrepresentation under 17 U.S. Code § 512(f).
According to an article on the Cornell Law School website, 17 U.S. Code § 512(f) states the following:
(f)Misrepresentations.—Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section—
(1)that material or activity is infringing, or
(2)that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
In this case, Attorney Reed is alleged to have misrepresented the nature of Frauditor RoundUp’s videos when filling out the DMCA counterclaim notices on behalf of Frauditor Roundup.
The lawsuit claims:
On or about April 30, 2025, Attorney Reed, a personal injury attorney with no known background in copyright law, submitted the Counter-Notice to YouTube pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) on behalf of the operator of the Roundup Channel. In that Counter-Notice, Attorney Reed claimed the Infringing Video fell under “de facto fair use,” a phrase that appears nowhere in Title 17 or in any recognized fair use jurisprudence.
The Counter-Notice also asserted that “Frauditor Roundup is the owner and creator of the content uploaded,” and that “the clips used were provided for educational purposes and for commentary and criticism.” The Counter-Notice provided no individualized analysis of the statutory fair-use factors and did not address the amount or substantiality of Liberty Troll’s footage used, the purpose and character of the use, or its market effect.
By signing under penalty of perjury, Attorney Reed personally adopted these statements, despite their lack of factual foundation and the absence of any legitimate legal doctrine called “de facto fair use.” His reckless disregard for the truth, coupled with his certification of a fabricated legal standard, constitutes a knowing and material misrepresentation under § 512(f).
The Counter-Notice was part of a coordinated scheme to preserve monetized infringing content. Defendants submitted the false Counter-Notice under penalty of perjury as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
The new suit continues a pattern established by Newman of holding the person who filled out the DMCA Counter-Notice responsible for the claims made in said counter-notice. Previous Newman authored lawsuits have included the YouTuber known as The Exposer’s attorney, and a housewife in New Jersey named Gail Buma, who filled out DMCA counter-notices on behalf of Dr. Dave.
When asked about the lawsuit, Attorney Newman provided the following statement:
“Liberty Troll v. Reed is what happens when you mix YouTube bullying with legal malpractice lite. The Roundup channel’s owner flat-out admitted his content isn’t transformative — it’s bullying — and yet his attorney still fired off a counter-notice that reads like it was drafted without even pressing play on the video.
Fair use doesn’t magically turn harassment into high art, and using the DMCA process as a shield for that kind of content is exactly why we brought this case. If your whole business model is ripping off other people’s work and adding fart noises, don’t be shocked when someone finally calls your bluff in federal court. This lawsuit is where ‘keyboard courage’ meets the reality of the courthouse steps — and only one of those is a safe space.”
This is a breaking news story.
Randall S. “The Unhinged Attorney” Newman, Esq., is currently scheduled to appear on our own ReallyCoolNews YouTube Channel on Friday August 15, 2025, as part of our GriffiePalooza Too event. Newman’s interview is tentatively scheduled to start during 10PM Eastern time hour.
LOL
sue the other guys lawyer?
That is going to go over well!
Seriously, is this guy bipolar? He is going to try and sue a lawyer for replying for his client?
You will also note that they are now backing off the copyright claims, since the plaintiff has not registered their work and if they did so at such a late date they would not get much even if they won in court.
So lets sue anyone who dares stand up to them and their fraudulent legal terrorism? They have been watch YT sovcit’s legal play book. and I bet you the other lawyer is quacking in his boots.
Seriously, this guy is just out of control and frankly, adding in other lawyers is a great way to have the other guy stay on the case until the end.
Hint, foreshadowing, it won’t end well
His legal theory is “fair use” is not present in this section of the code? So? He speaks english, he can read the words.
Sort of like the guy search for something under the street light at night. When asked if he can be helped, he says sure, he lost something over there in the dark but he is search here cause the light it better?
So, of the many lawyers on YT, some are even real, they all are either dismissing these lolsuits as chilli type paper terrorism or as nothing more than a grift.
Note, i seem to only get communications from one side and not the other, So while that may indicate an absence of there being any lawyers supporting these lolsuit, my lack of lawyers telling me they are good lawsuits is not evidence that such absence is real. In other words, i have one side of the story and the other side may be out there support these lolsuits, but they simply ignore me.
I get ignored so often 😀
and yet here i am 😀
Suffice to say, suing the lawyer for working with his client to answer their lolsuit is an attempt to chili (chill) the water and intimidate the other side. It shows just how weak their case is, and how badly they are represented.
And what, sorry, WTF, are they doing crowd sourcing a lolsuit? Seriously? And they want to be taken seriously?
@TheDMCALawyer So you are encouraging legal malpractice?
Suing another lawyer?
If you have even practiced law, then you know just how unfazed the other lawyer is and how quickly this suit against another lawyer will be dismissed.
You dropped the copyright suits cause you did not know anything about copyright law, and now are going to sue lawyer for filing their clients reply to your lolsuits?
Errr?
Are you well?
Did you not take ALL your medication?
I used to think this was just a grift to get money. Now, i think this is a plea for medical intervention. This is no longer funny, this is a call for intervention.
You need to step away from your computer and get your meds in order. None of these filings are signs of a well man but signs of a person in need of help.
Maybe you and chilli can get a group discount for your meds? Cause clearly what you are taking is not enough.
Suing the other side’s lawyer?
Seriously?
You think that is going to stand?
That alone is a cry for help.
You would think chilli might have done something like this, but even in his AI filled lolsuits, he never went this far. And now you are going to try and get the other side all worried? Intimidated? This is nothing more than a reworked version of a sovcit paper terrorism and about as valuable.
Just keep telling them you are travelling. Not driving. I am sure it will work for you,,,
not.
This is on topic. I swear it is…
mostly on topic.
Ok fine, it waves in the general vicinity of being on topic.
Merb came out swinging for the nutcase lawyer. So I went to post this comment on his channel. comparing Merb with Merb34st and seeing how the two might agree…
Just waiting to see if Merb or YT block it 😀
thanks for respecting free speech
Is it me, or will bipolar be warming up a lolsuit with my name on it soon?
Begin repost
You know, i draw a lot of my information from another lawyer, named Merb34st. You should meet him.
Now the first thing Merb34st says, when involved with the police of a lawsuit is to shut your pie hole. I think that is a direct quote.
So why are supporting a lawyer who is on YT doing videos and livestream talking about cases?
When Merb34st was sued by David Earl Warden what did he do? He said that he was being sued then promptly shut his pir hole.
Strangely, he did not do a livestream or another video on the subject or matter until the lolsuit was dismissed.
Your new bromance seems to be not doing so?
Again, you might want to talk to Merb34st about that,
Next, Merb34st told of how he runs a lawsuit. Client comes ion for medical malpractice. They pays 5 K, you pocket 1K, you give a doctor 1K to look over the file, you use one K to get the info and 1 K for court filings etc.
Your bromance,. did not get a retainer. He had the client go to the court house to file his motion. And the client, DMA tried to crowd fund the filing fee,
You really ought to watch Merb34st videos. So very informative.
Lastly, David Earl Warden, your last bromance before this one, made threats to sue Merb34st. So he made a video. Telling how scared a lawyer is when he gets threatened with a lawsuit. I believe he said something about paying a receptionist who sits there all day to sign for paperwork.
Alfred e Newman, Mad magazine founder and alias of Randy the pro boner from bang kok, is now suing lawyers to include them in cases where they represented their clients in filings what is a basic standard denial. As they do not use the term fair use properly, either as a matter of fact, something a jury to decide or a matter of law, something for the judge to decide.
So a lolsuit over a factual or legal conclusion?
Pegleg covered a lawsuit filed by a prof who was accused of being a murder by an internet psych, like chancy did a video for Merb34st once years ago. Only she claimed the prof killed 4 students etc. When the prof sued her, the psycho sued back and included the lawyers representing their clients. Same thing now. She was a nut case. She did not claim to be a lawyer. this guy does but he is going to sue them because they are misusing the term “fair use”, Like Merb34st of old, i truly do not wonder if they are quaking in their boots when they were served or did they need a time out to stop laughing at the lolsuit.
Imagine that these types of things are standard in your country? You moved to sovcit land recently?
Had a kid and move to lala land?
How about hearsay? Seems it is not hearsay to harvest newspaper quotes, well quote from our buddy Jim Finch about what Shiz said, Irish had done. No hearsay there. one, two, three, four people away from the source?
Seriously?
But hey, every lawyer knows that is not hearsay. it beyond the legal realm into the land of sovcits.
Or this could be fun.
corpus delicti
The sovcit phrase they know nothing about. Well in their suit against Irish, they have what again?
You know evidence.
Well, someone, said something that someone else said might be Irish.
And the hack originated in Ireland.
Okay
And?
Well?
Oh I know
Irish is guilty because chilli filed something like 5K YT complaints against him so this is retaliation.
errr…
So, the police, it is a crime to hack someone’s web site. Well maybe not in Cali, who knows what they call a crime in that state.
But near tell everywhere else, it is a crime.
If you have evidence you turn it over to police. With evidence they will arrest, try and convict a criminal.
Oh right. No evidence. Just some hearsay that a guy said to a girl he was trying to get into her pants.
yep, rock solid case there.
Well, they will get the evidence on discovery… isn’t that the chilli way? He tried to do that with Blue Bacon and it worked out so well for him. I think he owes like 10K to BB and the suit was tossed with prejudice? Man that is solid work ethics…
The reason why someone could work for big named firms, a lot of them, they hire for a contract. Find out the guy is daft and then do not renew said contract. So he has to seek employment elsewhere or something like that.
Your common joe, work ethic lawyer is bipolar. And not on his meds. Darcy did the right thing to call him out for what he is doing. You are not helping things. Maybe, you should speak with Merb34st and see what you used to say. Now, in an effort to go after people with whom you dislike, you are going to toss it all away for him?
But then in the end, I am not even a first year family law guy. I am but a simple usenet troll.
The emperor has no clothes, and now neither do you,.
LOL
2 posts.
both gone.
So much for free speech on YT

DMA;s lawyer just tried to insult me so here it is with my reply!
I just saw this novella. So long winded and yet so dumb. Truly a dummy.
end
My reply
Does it help you, if you keep saying so, to keep away the gnawing of doubt in your mind?
Just wondering, or does the creeping reality that comes with running a very badly thought out scam overwhelm you?
But, hey, if it makes you feel better to say it, go for it. Because reality is closing in on you, it’s only a matter of time… ticktock…
You seem off your meds and unable to handle just how badly you have screwed up with this ongoing scam. Sad to say, but you are rapidly running out of room to play. First was the scam lol suits. Then, when that failed, you tried to scare people and intimidate them. When that failed, you started to sue lawyers over standard DMA denial letters for representing their clients? Now you are reduced to petty insults. LOL
People online are not afraid of you. They are getting lawyers and not even bothering to settle. They are going to make you prove it in court. That place you have been in twice and lost badly both times? LOL, and to make matters worse, the judges and lawyers are seeing you and what you are doing a mile away.
You now have random YT lawyers writing briefs about you. Your posting in comments are slammed by more than a few lawyers, you may or may not even know who they are. In the background, even more are talking about how silly these threats are.
Sovereign citizens sue the oppositions lawyers. Because they don’t know any better. What’s your excuse?
What part of lawyers represent clients? Did you not understand?
Lawyers use standard DMA denial letters when they represent their clients. What part of that did you not understand?
No one is taking you serious or your lol suits.
People are laughing, but they are not laughing with you.
Your reputation of interstellar proportion, or is that merely your inflated ego? Your reputation as a lawyer, as a litigant and as a person, are all now so firmly ingrained in what you are doing online these past few months, is this scam really worth it?
In the end, all that can said here, seek help. Your meds are not working as they should.

@RobertFortin1405 Wrong on the facts, wrong on the law, but thanks for playing. I haven’t dropped any copyright claims, and suing the person who signed a false counter-notice is not only acceptable, it’s literally in the statute. Maybe next time, fact-check before you unleash another novella of nonsense. If you’re trying to win the Long-Winded Dummy of the Year award, you are in the lead, by far.
end
My reply
@TheDMCALawyer My, is that sort of like your encouraging people to file false subpoena just to dox people?
So, in your mind, a lawyer representing their client, signing a document for their client is not acceptable? LOL
Is this because you have never had a real client before? Never had anyone trust you enough to sign for them? Never done any lawyering to represent someone? I mean with only two court cases and one of them a fail over a one page contract? Was it too long for you to read?
A false counter notice would be a legal conclusion made by a judge, After viewing evidence. You have just skipped that part.
But hey, when they get this tossed and get you to pay for their time in tossing this, I want you to remember my name with every check you have to write for your paper terrorism.
In the meantime, since i am merely a “Long-Winded Dummy of the Year award,”please remember to whom you speak, An award winner. You however are still upset about not getting a participation trophy when you were in school… law school but still in school.
Being a failure is not your only option. Have your tried driving for Uber?
