One of my local (several states away) bakeries announced a "Afroman lemon cake macaron" today.

His legal costs are gonna be tiny versus his YouTube/Spotify revenue out of all this.

(And I wouldn't ignore the value he probably applies to being proven right in court, either.)

Which is great for him. The point being this happens to other people who aren't famous, and maybe don't want to spend their time asymmetrically fighting for themselves on social media.

That's fine, but "There is no justice here" is incorrect.

How so? The positives you described had nothing to do with the courts. That's just an outcome of his own savvy. If he didn't make the video or the song, he would be out a lot of money. That's not justice, that's an entertaining person using their virality to claw back some of what was taken from them. How would that go for Joe Average?

This is the story of a guy who got sued for being harassed and had to waste years of their time and money fighting it.
