In May, Triller sued the popular H3 Podcast for $50m claiming that the people behind it had pirated the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight and displayed it on YouTube. In a scathing motion to dismiss, the defendants describe Triller's complaint as "fatally flawed" and a "mangled and mangy mess", noting that they are fully protected under the doctrine of fair use. As part of Triller’s legal campaign targeting people and entities that allegedly pirated the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight earlier this year, the company sued the popular H3 Podcast. Filed in May, the alleged two types of copyright infringement, violations of the Federal Communications Act (FCA), conversion, and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. complaint Triller said that the operators of the H3 Podcast “unlawfully uploaded, distributed, and publicly displayed” the fight in breach of its rights, causing damages in excess of $50,000,000 after the “unauthorized broadcast” was viewed a reported 1,000,000 times. Later that same month, Triller filed its first amended complaint naming Ted Entertainment Inc. (TEI) and the operators of the H3 Podcast, Ethan and Hila Klein, as defendants. H3 Podcast was removed but the claim for $50m in damages remained. In July, Triller filed its second amended complaint which added Teddy Fresh Inc. and 10 ‘Doe’ defendants. It also cut the allegations of wrongdoing by half, leaving the defendants to answer claims of copyright infringement, vicarious copyright infringement and violations of the FCA. Triller’s Complaint is “Retaliation” to Criticism In a scathing motion to dismiss filed with the court yesterday, the defendants pull no punches in their response to Triller. Describing Triller’s complaint as “fatally defective”, they explain that despite being given numerous opportunities, the company consistently files complaints that are “a mangled and mangy mess that are devoid of any merit.” According to the motion, Triller’s complaint centers around TEI’s use of an excerpt of the ‘broadcast’ for the purposes of commentary and criticism in a video entitled ‘Jake Paul Fight Was a Disaster’. TEI employees reportedly uploaded the excerpt (the ‘reference video’) onto YouTube as an unlisted video and the defendants say that Triller’s lawsuit amounts to retaliation for their broad criticism. “Anyone who watches the 4/22/21 Podcast can instantly recognize the true purpose of Triller’s [second amended complaint]: retaliation against the 4/22/21 Podcast because it excoriated the Broadcast and its main event – the boxing match between Jake Paul and Ben Askren (the ‘Fight’). In other words, Triller’s SAC is a brazen and unabashed attempt to intimidate, punish and silence lawful and protected criticism,” the motion reads. Triller Says Defendants Used a ‘Bootleg’ Video Triller says that the defendants watched a pirated or bootleg version of the broadcast, uploaded it to YouTube, and showed an excerpt and its URL in the 4/22/21 podcast. However, the defendants say that the screenshot provided by Triller failed to show the URL and Triller could not provide it. It was possible to see the URL in the video with some work but ultimately the video received just 65 views. Triller says the defendants profited from their conduct because the H3 Podcast is part of the YouTube partner program, contains sponsorships, and sells merchandise. However, the channel the ‘reference video’ was uploaded to has none of these qualities, the defendants say. From here, things start to get more interesting. While Triller’s complaints have all centered on the fight itself, that famously lasted for under two minutes. The entire broadcast, to which Triller owns the copyright, lasted much longer – four hours in fact – meaning that any use of the Jake Paul fight by the defendants in their two-hour podcast was necessarily small. According to the motion to dismiss, the H3 Podcast spent 12 minutes of the podcast critiquing the broadcast and in the middle of that showed 42 seconds of the ‘reference video’, which included five seconds exclusively of audio, nine seconds of both audio and video, and 28 seconds exclusively of video. Ethan and Hila’s Outreach to Triller Failed Late June, Ethan and Hila wrote to Triller demonstrating how each claim in the first amended complaint failed. Triller then submitted its second amended complaint (SAC), dropping three claims. In July the parties had a telephone conference but Triller remained “unpersuaded” that its SAC contained “fatal defects”. Triller responded by filing a new action against the defendants in the Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that comments made in H3 Podcasts about the fight lawsuit amounted to tortious interference. Copyright Infringement Claims “Fail as Matter of Law” The defendants believe that Triller’s first copyright infringement claim is based on an Ethan Klein statement that he watched a pirated version of the broadcast. According to them, that’s not infringement. “Viewing a transmission – whether it be Triller’s April 17, 2021 transmission of the Broadcast, the Reference Video or the 4/22/21 Podcast – does not constitute copyright infringement. Viewing a transmission is not a public display, public performance, public distribution or derivative work of the original copyrighted work,” the motion to dismiss reads. Triller’s vicarious copyright infringement claim appears to rely on the allegation that third parties watched the ‘reference’ video and the podcast but in common with the first infringement claim, that also fails under the doctrine of fair use, the motion adds. Fair Use Defenses According to the motion, Triller is seeking to separate the ‘reference’ video and Klein’s viewing of the broadcast from the use of the broadcast in the podcast. This, the defendants say, is something explicitly rejected under the doctrine of “intermediate use”, meaning that copying as a preliminary step in the creation of a fair use work also qualifies as fair use. “As such, Triller’s attempt to view Defendants’ alleged acts of infringement in isolation from the 4/22/21 Podcast is precluded as a matter of law.” Weighing in on the first fair use factor, the defendants say that their use was highly transformative and contained significant commentary and criticism, including that relating to the overall quality of the show and the physical appearance of Ben Askren. The podcast also critiqued the referee, pondered whether the fight had been staged, and questioned the amount of revenue the event might make. In respect of whether the use was commercial, the defendants argue that since the use was highly transformative, this factor is much less important. They also believe that any unauthorized access to the broadcast (“bad faith”) should not affect a finding in favor of fair use. “[T]riller’s argument that access to an authorized copy is a precondition for Defendants to invoke the fair use is, itself, a bad faith argument,” the motion adds. The second factor in a determination of fair use is the nature of the work being copied, such as whether it was for factual/informational or entertainment purposes. The defendants only used a section from the broadcast that showed the men fighting so on that basis they argue their use was primarily factual. On the third factor of fair use, which questions whether “the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole are reasonable in relation to the purpose of the copying”, the defendants believe the law is on their side. “The Broadcast was essentially four hours long…In other words, the 4/22/21 Podcast used less than .3% of the Broadcast,” an amount that under the circumstances was “very reasonable in relation to the 4/22/21 Podcast’s transformative purpose of commentary and criticism of the Broadcast and Fight.” In addressing the fourth factor (whether the copying affects the market value of the copyrighted work), the motion notes that the court must distinguish between “biting criticism that merely suppresses demand and copyright infringement which usurps it.” They also point out that they catered to a different audience than Triller. While the latter’s wanted to sit back and enjoy the event, H3 Podcast’s viewers wanted to hear why the whole thing was a disaster. s Vicarious Infringement Claim Fail To prove a vicarious copyright infringement claim, the defendants say that Triller must show that the defendants had a direct financial interest in the alleged infringing activity by showing a causal relationship. They counter by noting that the ‘reference’ video had no sponsorships and was not monetized on YouTube so Triller’s claim fails. On the allegations relating to the violations of the Federal Communications Act, the defendants say that since Triller acknowledges that the videos were shown on YouTube after the original transmission (i.e they did not extend the point of distribution of the actual broadcast signal), that claim fails too. Conclusion “Triller’s abuse of the judicial process to punish and silence lawful speech can no longer be countenanced. Triller’s lawsuit is retribution for the 4/22/21 Podcast lambasting the Broadcast as a ‘disaster’,” the motion adds. “[T]riller persists in filing “disastrous” and fatally defective complaints – and the SAC is no exception. Since Triller consistently refuses to cease its abuse of the judicial process and Defendants, it is up to this Court to make Triller stop.” The motion to dismiss and associated memorandum can be found and (pdf) here here

Here’s what it can do: ampy Adafruit $ ampy --help

Usage: ampy [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  ampy - Adafruit MicroPython Tool

  Ampy is a tool to control MicroPython boards over a serial  connection.  Using ampy you can manipulate files on the board's  internal filesystem and even run scripts.

Options:  -p, --port PORT  Name of serial port for connected board.  Can                   optionally specify with AMPY_PORT environemnt                   variable.  [required]  -b, --baud BAUD  Baud rate for the serial connection (default                   115200).  Can optionally specify with AMPY_BAUD                   environment variable.  --version        Show the version and exit.  --help           Show this message and exit.

Commands:  get    Retrieve a file from the board.  ls     List contents of a directory on the board.  mkdir  Create a directory on the board.  put    Put a file or folder and its contents on the...  reset  Perform soft reset/reboot of the board.  rm     Remove a file from the board.  rmdir  Forcefully remove a folder and all its...  run    Run a script and print its output. MicroPython stores files (scripts or anything else that fits) in a very basic filesystem. By default, an empty should exist already. To list the files on your board, execute: boot.py $ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART lsboot.py Using the command will echo a file’s contents to your shell (which could be piped to a file, if you wish): get $ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART get boot.py# This file is executed on every boot (including wake-boot from deepsleep) We can overwrite it with our own : boot.py $ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART put boot.py And retrieve it to see that it overwrote the default : boot.py $ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART get boot.pydef connect():    import network    sta_if = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)    if not sta_if.isconnected():        print('connecting to network...')        sta_if.active(True)        sta_if.connect('<YOUR WIFI SSID>', '<YOUR WIFI PASS>')        while not sta_if.isconnected():            pass    print('network config:', sta_if.ifconfig())

def no_debug():    import esp    # this can be run from the REPL as well    esp.osdebug(None) Success! This is the gist of uploading files with . You can also upload entire folders, as we’ll see later. ampy From here, we can open our REPL again, and run our code. No need to restart the board! Running a MicroPython Module In following examples, I will eliminate the command prompt ( **>>>** ) from code run in a REPL, for ease of copying & pasting.

Disconnect from the port (if using : , ) and append these lines to : screen Ctrl-A Ctrl-\ y boot.py no_debug()connect() Upload it again via , which will overwrite the existing . Hard reset (“push the button”) or otherwise power -cycle the board.

If you’ve gotten this far, then your board is successfully connecting to Wifi at boot. Good job! connect() We now have two more items to check off our list, unless you forgot what we were trying to do: We need to read the ambient temperature on an interval. We need to publish this information to an broker. MQTT Next, we’ll knock out that temperature reading. Temperature Readings in MicroPython As we write our code, we can use the REPL to experiment. I’m using the example . You’ll need to import three (3) modules, , and (note the ): found here machine onewire ds18x20 x import machine, onewire, ds18x20 I’ve connected my sensor to pin 12 on my ESP32. Your breadboard should look something like this: Example breadboard wiring for ESP32 dev board and DS18B20 To read temperature, we will create a -like object by passing a instance into a constructor (read about ) and finally into a constructor: Matryoshka-doll Pin OneWire 1-Wire DS18X20 pin = machine.Pin(12)wire = onewire.OneWire(pin)ds = ds18x20.DS18X20(wire) Note that if the output of the following command is an empty list ( ), the sensor couldn't be found. Check your wiring! [] Now, we can ask to scan for connected devices, and return their addresses: ds ds.scan() Output: [bytearray(b'(\xee3\x0c"\x15\x004')] returns a of device addresses in format. Yours may look slightly different. Since we only have one, we can save its address to a variable. To read temperature data, we tell the 1-Wire bus to reset via , take a short pause of 750ms (in case you're pasting this): ds.scan() list bytearray ds.convert_temp() import timeaddr = ds.scan().pop()ds.convert_temp()time.sleep_ms(750)temp = ds.read_temp(addr)temp Output: 19.875 This reading is in Celsius. If you’re like me, you don’t speak Celsius, so maybe you want to convert it to Fahrenheit: (temp * 1.8) + 32 Output: 67.775 …which is right around what I expected! Let’s take what we’ve done and create a new file, : temperature.py import timefrom machine import Pinfrom onewire import OneWirefrom ds18x20 import DS18X20

class TemperatureSensor:    """    Represents a Temperature sensor    """    def __init__(self, pin):        """        Finds address of single DS18B20 on bus specified by `pin`        :param pin: 1-Wire bus pin        :type pin: int        """        self.ds = DS18X20(OneWire(Pin(pin)))        addrs = self.ds.scan()        if not addrs:            raise Exception('no DS18B20 found at bus on pin %d' % pin)        # save what should be the only address found        self.addr = addrs.pop()

    def read_temp(self, fahrenheit=True):        """        Reads temperature from a single DS18X20        :param fahrenheit: Whether or not to return value in Fahrenheit        :type fahrenheit: bool        :return: Temperature        :rtype: float        """        self.ds.convert_temp()        time.sleep_ms(750)        temp = self.ds.read_temp(self.addr)        if fahrenheit:            return self.c_to_f(temp)        return temp

    @staticmethod    def c_to_f(c):        """        Converts Celsius to Fahrenheit        :param c: Temperature in Celsius        :type c: float        :return: Temperature in Fahrenheit        :rtype: float        """        return (c * 1.8) + 32 Disconnect from the REPL. Upload via : temperature.py ampy $ ampy -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART put temperature.py Then we can open our REPL once again, and try it: from temperature import TemperatureSensort = TemperatureSensor(12)t.read_temp() # use t.read_temp(False) to return Celsius Seems to have warmed up a bit. Output: 68.7875 Good work! Conclusion of Part One (1) In the first part of this tutorial, we’ve learned how to: Flash an ESP32 dev board with MicroPython Use MicroPython’s REPL to experiment Connect the ESP32 to WiFi Upload and execute MicroPython scripts Read the temperature with a 1-Wire DS18B20 sensor In the forthcoming part of this tutorial, we’ll learn about MQTT, how to publish our temperature data to an MQTT broker, and likewise interface with an MQTT-based cloud “IoT platform”. second This article originally appeared January 8, 2018 on boneskull.com .
