They're not suing him over the footage. They're suing him for publishing it all over the place in an attempt to monetize it.

I'm talking about the headline being misleading, not whether he's in the right or not.

Good thing there’s a whole article there to read and other articles as well, so you can get all of the details from a source more plentiful than a headline.

Thanks for conceding I was correct.
