'He Needs a Desperate Attempt': HasanAbi Calls Out Ethan Klein for Legal Move Against Streamers

In a shocking twist, in retaliation for Ethan Klein's aforementioned move to sue three of Twitch's largest streamers Denims, Morgan 'Frogan,' and Kacey 'Kaceytron',political commentator and former War of AI participant Hasan 'HasanAbi' Piker declared Klein's lawsuit a 'last ditch attempt' meant to generate drama.
This suit stems from the conviction that Hasan Piker, aka hasanabi, has unjustly violated YouTuber.
The legal challenge: What's the problem?
On June 19, 2025, H3 Podcast host Ethan Klein announced his intention to sue Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron for copyrighting his content. In his first clip, Klein laid out an introduction to the lawsuit, arguing that the three streamers were illegally using his copyrighted videos on their sites. That suit got ugly when those streamers started directly reacting to Klein's video in their own live streams, something that Klein now alleges led to rampant copyright infringement.
Klein's choice to pursue legal action has been the subject of widespread attention, in large part because the content at issue in this case including the discussions made between public figures that lead to the threat of legal action are typically public and occur in a public forum. As the host of one of YouTube's most popular and longest-running podcasts, Klein's decision to go to bat has inspired several days' worth of raging discourse about the YouTube creator community's ethical obligation to steer clear of this type of lawsuit.

Hasanabi's Outrage: A 'Pathetic Stunt' For Drama'
HasanAbi was the first to express his outrage at Klein's misconduct, seizing the lawsuit's condemnation the day the news of the lawsuit broke and going straight to his livestream to condemn the lawsuit. The Turkish-American streamer took full advantage of his opportunity to hammer Klein's proposal, calling it a blatant attempt to manufacture controversy. As HasanAbi reminds us, Klein's legal crusade is a collaborative squall of costly, hazardous balderdash that's quickly turning into a big-wave tsunami for the influencer/content creator space.
"Now he needs a desperate attempt to grab onto f*king any sort of controversy and drama. I'm sure that me reacting to it actually playing into exactly what he wanted to do. But the reason why I wanted to talk about this is specifically so that you guys go and show support to Denims, Frogan, and Kaceytron because, obviously, he has a fk ton of money, and he's going to use the fk ton of money that he has to bully other content creators who don't have a f*k ton of money, and try to win some kind of public opinion battle.
'
The move stands in a dismal contrast of further implications for content creators, especially micro-influencers who often lack the legal resources to present their own arguments against industry Goliaths. Nor will it pacify the Twitter mob. This is in large part due to the fact that many of HasanAbi's followers have taken to social media to defend the accused streamers, further inflaming the growing online conversation about whether content creators with huge platforms have any ethical responsibility to their audiences.
Klein's lawsuit has not by any means slipped under the radar, as nearly a half million in the Twitch and YouTube communities have rallied to the cause of the three streamers.
