💀 HorrorcowNicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta / "u/Early-Leopard-8351" - Polysubstance abuser, child doser, dog killer. "Lawtube pope" turned zesty Dabbleverse Redditor streamer. Swinger "whitebread ass nigga" who snuffs animals and visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold. Still not over his ex Aaron. Wife's bod worth $50.
In the most recent Stallyn19 clip, Aaron recounts a text that Nick shared of him saying that he would look at Nick's second house with the possibility of buying it. Aaron claims that, at the time when he was still interested in buying the house, "snow was still on the ground," and "it was, like, February."
But not so fast, toe-man.
Nick has apparently taken deep umbrage with Aaron's account of events. View attachment 7372102 ( link )
It was EARLY APRIL! Not FEBRUARY, Aaron!
And although there was precipitation on that day, the low was above freezing, so it couldn't have been snow! And it hadn't snowed earlier in the week, either! Hah! Checkmate!
How dare you get that wrong! How dare you try to use vague weather conditions to give an approximate description of the time of year in a cold shithole like Minnesota!
This is Nick's life now. Subtweeting Aaron over Stallyn19 clips. Being a pedantic retard and missing the forest for the trees every single time, but thinking that he's scored yet another frickin' epic own.
Remember when he used to do shit? Remember when he used to be a lawyer?
Embarrassing.
I find it hilarious that he thinks anyone cares about the damn house. Nick only cares about it b/c Aaron not buying it messed up what he thought was the perfect solution to his financial mess he gotten himself into.
How insanely stupid do you have to be to call the judge of your own case retarded? Ironic hearing Nick call her out for not knowing basic stuff while doing this. He is allergic to self preservation.
Clip: Nick specifies that the judge he was complaining about was female, so I think you're right.
Nick says he was asked "Can you explain why you said she's retarded? That's a diagnosis of a condition." Assuming he was actually asked to respond to the complaint, that means the complaint was judged to be worthy of investigation, in which case Nick is asked to provide a response.
Otherwise he would simply receive a notice with a "determination that discipline is not warranted, without investigation" in which case he wouldn't be required to respond.
Here is the clip from the cokestream where he's complaining for context. This is the only statement I can think of where he would have received an ethics complaint over this issue.
Hey guys! CokeFiend16 here, back at it again with another EPIC lawyer life hack!
Don't like the judge presiding over your case? No problem! Just keep calling her a retard until she fills an ethics complaint against you.
If she does this, then she has to recuse herself from the case to avoid a conflict of interest.
But no, not completely naïve. More like 1/5 each of
, and
I can't not bc it's the right thing to do/ I'd be remiss if I didn't put it out there, and
wake up you dumb fuck, and
hard-earned lessons evangelism, and
"listen to me! I'm right! I'm right!"
All wrapped up in a cozy permeating ooze blanket of stubborn.
So only 1/6 charming, I suppose.
I save my malicious laughter for the irredeemably terrible. My threshold for irredeemable may be too high. (Though I did peg both Nick (and Ethan, to a lesser degree) as irredeemable from the jump. There are others.)
I'm aware. I was talking about his present and future. He was a hot mess with April and Kayla. If he got a real wakeup call, amazing, and improbable. If he's just feeling better bc he has a presumably non-crazy girlfriend, then that's situational and therefore tenuous.
Lookit, we all love Ourron but he looks like this
He's lost a little weight I think and looks a bit better now but he's a male 6. He's a goober, he fucks but he's a goober.
This is what April looks like
If you gave her a wash with the dog hose and got her off the box wine and Dumb Bitch Powder, dressed her up nice instead of from the Skank aisle in Forever 21, April is a Midwestern 9. Unfortunately Our Boy Aaron was too pussystruck with marrying out of his league, looks wise, to understand what a dead eyed whore with no maternal instinct looks like. He's not rich and I think the Cumio impersonation bravado is a slightly dorky covering up for a lack of genuine self confidence, so I don't blame him for being wrapped round her finger. Guys who look like Aaron don't usually get girls as pretty as that, but I told you Aaron fucks
He should be self confident, because all the "humiliating" personal texts Brokedick Nick releases show that Aaron was the only (belated) responsible adult human being with normal, non sociopathic or narcissistic emotions in the Qover. Rackets is trying to embarrass him, but he's showing us a basically good guy who got sucked in to drugs and the fleeting local "celebrity" Rekieta used to have. He quickly regrets it and shows love, anger and anguish over his wife. And he is now a little wiser for the experience and refocusing on taking care of his kids like a good Dad. Those are not humiliating things, and when they're coming from an aggressively degenerate unrepentant asshole they just make people hate Brokedick more.
Aaron, it's ok little nigger everything comes up Toe in the end. But I hear nothing comes up in Nick Rekieta's boxer shorts.
Meanwhile he's getting asspats on twitter for being "30 days sober"
This faggot has stopped pretending to be a lawyer long enough to pretend to be in recovery.
He is a narcissistic pick-me seeking affirmation and unconditional and unearned praise. He wants to revel in the hug-box and affirmation culture of 'recovery' while not taking any accountability at all. It is the same way he treats religion, and why it turns to 'OnLy gOd CaN jUdGe mE!' cringe heresy.

He might be alcohol and cocaine free, but that's about it. Then again, he said he is tested around once a week. I'll bet he thinks he has worked out a pattern at some point. Alcohol 48 hours or so clean, 72 for cocaine, if infrequent use. There is a window for him to indulge.

As for Melton's $1000, Nick's reaction was weird. He was bemused and then casually said it was payment for his appearance in Vegas. I didn't detect any lies, but then again, he lies about everything.
Wouldn't it be funny (and weird!) if Nick was fuming over the stiffed hotel stay and thought Melton donated $1000 because he wanted to make up it to him. Then he finds out Melton was just messing with him.
Chad Zumock read an email from April's friend on his live stream today. The friend claims Nick made April send the goo eating texts, that Nick got April's twitter password and was tweeting as her and that April thinks Nick manipulated her way worse than Aaron. Zummock claims he's checked his source but it could be someone fucking with him. Chad Zumock April Email Clip.mp4

The parody defense for Supertips needs to be put to bed. This is not just a copyright or a parody matter.
I deal with a lot of IP issues in my day job. Without getting into specifics, I have to make a lot of calls before things go to legal, projects that can often lean into parody and other fair-use edge cases, especially around humor.
To keep clean hands, I went to ai sloppa for an overview of parody:
Parody is a form of expression that imitates the style, content, or characteristics of a particular work, genre, or figure—usually in a humorous or satirical way—to comment on, criticize, or simply entertain.
A parody typically includes:
Imitation – It closely mimics the distinctive features of the original, such as tone, structure, phrasing, or subject matter.
Exaggeration or distortion – It often exaggerates traits for comic or critical effect.
Commentary or critique – Many parodies highlight flaws, absurdities, or conventions in the original, sometimes with underlying social or political critique.
Humor – Though not strictly required, humor is central to most parodies.
Examples:
Weird Al Yankovic’s song parodies mimic pop hits with new comedic lyrics.
Scary Movie parodies horror films by mimicking their tropes in an exaggerated, comedic way.
The Onion parodies news media with fake stories that mirror real-world journalism styles to satirical effect.
Legally, parody can also be protected under "fair use" in U.S. copyright law if it is transformative and comments on the original work.
Imitation - it's nearly exact duplication of the voice (to varied success). Fail.
Exaggeration or distortion - The faces may be comical, but voices are not altered in a way for comedic effect. Fail.
Commentary or critique - This varies widely by the message delivered. Generally, suggesting someone is a pedo or has a small dick, two of Nick's favorite jokes, is not protected. Fail.
Humor - Did you laugh at these? I know Nick did, but ... we saw his standup. Fail.
The concept of the AI talking faces *could* be a solid framework for a parody piece, and hence protected fair use. The problem is in execution. "Crowdsourcing" that actual message of the digital avatars, means the bulk of what airs on old Balldoman's show, doesn't meet the criteria listed above. (Maybe excepting imitation (hence the framework)). The "execution", ie text, of the supertips is just all over the place. Examples of actual parody up thread have been correct (the Conan "satellite" interviews, South Park "celebrities", Jibjab, SNL impersonations, etc. To make it a parody, one would have to spend some time to actually flesh out a script, well at least a line or two, that hits most cornerstones of parody and meeting the legal protections for it, as well as the legal cornerstones. Again, more sloppa, on legal issues with parody and fair use in the US:
Under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act, courts consider several factors to determine if a parody qualifies as fair use:
Purpose and character of the use:
Parody is often transformative, meaning it adds something new (e.g. humor or critique) to the original work.
Commercial use does not automatically disqualify it, but non-commercial uses have a stronger fair use claim.
Nature of the copyrighted work:
Using highly creative works (like songs, movies, or novels) is more sensitive, but parody often needs to borrow from such works to make its point.
Amount and substantiality of the portion used:
Parodies often use recognizable parts of the original to "signal" what they are referencing—but only enough to conjure it.
Courts generally allow limited use if it’s necessary for the parody to be effective.
Effect on the market:
If the parody doesn't serve as a substitute for the original or harm its market, this supports fair use.
Courts usually find that parody doesn't reduce demand for the original, but instead targets it critically.
Purpose and character of use - stealing someone's face and voice to say whatever someone wants, is not in of itself a creative transformation. Varies on execution, but in general fail. It is commercial, which would raise the bar for use. - Fail.
Nature of work - The copyrighted/owned work is NIL, more on that below. I would call this contentious at present. - Likely fail, but not much precedent.
Amount and substantialness - Nick and supertips steal the entirety of a person's voice, as well as their image. - Again, not much precedent. Likely fail.
Effect on the market - It's related to likeness but also could be reputational damage. Is it actually a substitute for Kurt? One could make a Kurt stream using it. Would anything on supertips help promote the original? Steel Toe has previously said yes, but obviously Sean and Kurt disagree. I would not want most of what has been said through Nick's supertips to be said of me. - Likely fail.
In Nick's case (and for that matter, Melton's), he's been using specific avatars to mock his "enemies". Even just the selection of avatars on each show is a unique work, and one that doesn't shine a good light on supertips and the channel owners. The ill will (perhaps even malice) is clear and likely to kneecap any parody defense.
One more wrinkle, parody is only protected in the US, and recently Canada and the UK (to a more limited extent). Most other countries lack a parody exception (I don't think, for example, the EU's has been tested, and it varies by country). (Go get some, Energii Kang.)
NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) is a whole other ball of wax, and as others have mentioned, there's not clear precedent on that yet, especially with regards to AI avatars of real people. The few examples that have existed, have leaned toward compensation for NIL holder being compensated for any non-agreed rights. There's a fairly strong argument that the brand of "parody" from superitps wouldn't be protected, outside of very carefully crafted works.
The last intersection between all this mess is public confusion. Parody has to be distinct enough to be a unique work, even if it largely reuses parts of the original.
Oh, and they don't follow their own TOS. Surprise, surprise.
Note, this is not legal advice, I've purposefully kept things broad and sourced the weakest shit online. Go talk to a real (practicing) lawyer. The above is largely in line with my understanding on some weird issues these days.
He cant even blame drugs for that. Matt Stone and Trey Parker managed to predict what would happen and protect themselves in nearly the same circumstances while also high. You know if Nick was actually as smart as he thought, hed throw in one of these before the show. View attachment 7372340
Nick is too stupid and lazy to even do that correctly. He'd get a copyright strike and have his video taken down.
Then he'd tardrage about it being fair use and fight it. The funniest thing is watching the internet and the courts just quietly take away everything he thinks should be free to him. There is nothing funnier than watching him sperg out on his constitutional right to steal, feed drugs to his children, eat Aaron's goo and lead AA meetings to comply with court ordered community service.
I find it hilarious that he thinks anyone cares about the damn house. Nick only cares about it b/c Aaron not buying it messed up what he thought was the perfect solution to his financial mess he gotten himself into.
Aaron could be telling the most ludicrous lie about the house and I still wouldn't care because it was all some hypothetical bullshit anyway, and Nick losing it to fuel his nose-candy addiction is 10x funnier. Nick's only fixated on it because he either perceives or knows Aaron's version of events to be a lie, and because he's developmentally stunted, assumes that discrediting Aaron will restore his own standing. In reality, the best possible outcome for him is that people distrust both him and Aaron, which doesn't uncoke his children, uncuck his marriage, or unfuck his career. And besides, anyone who's not a Toe superfan already has a nuanced view of Aaron's trustworthiness. We already assume he could be lying about not wanting to buy the house, and again, just don't care because it's a nothingburger that only the people involved seem concerned about.
