I don't understand what he's suing for. It's video taken in a public place.  :?

My guess - he's suing cos loads and loads of filthy lucre.

He could raise an army with that kind of money. He could take to the sea in longboats and rape and pillage and do the big box / little box dance

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

I mean his legal standing for the lawsuit.

I'd guess it's based on the film-maker making cash from his image and wanting a cut.

He must have had a shit time lately, it's not like he can claim to have only just heard about this now.

Speculation - He later ended up with an X habit, recently fired and is reacting by suing the internet.

Defamation of character. It makes him look to weak and unmanly. Had the video showed him beating in the skulls of small, peaceful villagers who happen to be rich in livestock and poor in weaponry this would be a whole different story.

Perhaps its effected his sex life.

So if you read one of your poems in a public place and someone takes some video of it and makes a ton of money off of it, they owe you nothing?

Yes.

If I'm on a streetcorner reading poetry and someone videos it, the video is their copyright. There might be issues with the audio portion, depending on the state.

Mind you, I'm not asking about the ideal situation, I'm asking about the actual situation. So far, as far as I know, photos and videos are the legal intellectual property of the person who created them, provided they were taken legally. Of course, maybe the laws are different in vikingland, which is why I asked what his legal basis for the lawsuit is.

In vikingland the court generally settles on the side of the person carrying the largest axe

Technoviking has a good solid case
