After a bench trial on July 7, 2025, the judge decided the case in our favor and against the plaintiff, Heather Shaffer. Our lawyer has filed a motion to recover our legal fees. We are waiting on that decision. All Glory goes to God in this because it is HIS!!! God sustained us in this and my faith has increased ten-fold.
The plaintiff, Heather Shaffer, did not show the evidence to prove her claims, and the judge dismissed her claims against me. He then ordered, adjudged and decreed the case in my favor and against Heather Shaffer with prejudice and closed the case.
In our opinion, this case was never about copyright, it was about revenge. For almost two years Heather Shaffer generated almost $100,000 in legal bills pursuing what she said on the stand was $500 of damages. The damages were related to two lawyers she hired, one found on the discount forum Fiverr and another who charged her $350 and $150 respectively to file counter notifications for the DMCA’s I filed against her for using my exclusive content. Let’s not forget that Heather Shaffer did not need to hire lawyers to file counter-notifications, it is easily done using YouTube’s free tools. When you consider that in this, her “damages” were her own doing in my opinion. So, why do you think someone would pursue this case for almost 2 years to the tune of almost $100,000.00? Let me know what you think in the comments.
