hey everybody how's it going I hope
you're having a lovely day unfortunately
Mr Stefan Fischer of all off-road 4x4
Adventures is not having a lovely day
because a company called DCs appears to
be filing a suit against him for
defamation unfortunately Stefan is not
having a lovely day but at the end of
this video I hope that he is having a
lovely day not only a lovely day but an
amazing day and I hope that the lawyers
over at DCS as well as management and
ownership no longer have a lovely day as
a result of me pointing out that not
only did Stefan not do anything wrong
but that DCS might actually be in
violence of Australian Consumer
Protection Law let's dig into this and
see what went on so Mr Stephan Fischer
has this Channel all off-road 4x4
Adventures he reviews equipment that you
use for going off-road he doesn't have a
bunch of sponsorships like certain
people that I may talk about on YouTube
from time to time and as you can see he
just kind of does videos where he's just
you know going through the the woods and
stuff like this and just having fun he
does what YouTube was supposed to be for
he shares his Joy with all of you I
share my joy when it comes to repair I
show my rants when it comes to companies
that screw you over everybody here is
doing what they do they're doing them
you do you I do me we create YouTube
broadcast yourself that's what it's
supposed to be and the modern day it's
mostly a lot of this affiliate marketing
sponsored kind of garbage content or
content where somebody winds up being
the pr and marketing firm of a trillion
dollar company but what he did is he
decided to do an honest review he did a
review of a DCS battery now who is DCs
DCS produces lithium batteries that are
designed to endorse severe climates
depending on the weather our batteries
can endure rain heat and cold Deep Cycle
Systems produces Dependable long-lasting
battery life and we're going to see if
that's the case as you can see on their
website they're not marketing their
batteries of stuff that you use in a
remote control they are advertising
these products for serious usage for
usage in solar systems for usage in
hybrid vehicles and starting stuff in
hybrid vehicles they're advertising this
for marine and boat use this is a
battery that they are advertising is
rugged and designed for this type of use
now Stefan talked very well about these
batteries when he first got them in
later videos he started showing that
their capacity was dropping considerably
and he also started talking about the
experience of other people in his craft
that were experiencing the same thing
upwards of 30 to 50% battery loss within
the first several years which is pretty
bad when he published his tests on his
review he was using equipment like the
makerhawk like the all torch arttor dl24
I'm so sorry for butchering the
pronunciation of all these things point
being he did a full open presentation on
the equipment that he used how he
performed these tests he had independent
people verify that he did these tests
correctly he was completely open and
transparent about his testing process on
his Channel showing you what he did and
he verified these tests with other
people who had similar experiences
within his hobby he also talked about
the fact that DCS had said that there
are kilometer related issues regarding
the lifespan of the battery if you go a
certain number of kilometers it may not
last however that's not what they say in
their own warranty material when you
take a look this warranty does not talk
about kilometer related use it talks
about whether or not the battery fails
to deliver 80% of its rate of capacity
during the warranty period for normal
installations or 70% of the rate of
capacity during the warranty period when
installed inside engine Bays or engine
compartments now we're going to come
back to this part soon because if
there's anything I hate on this channel
that most of you watching hate it's when
a company changes the terms of the sale
after the sale he showed the results of
these tests and these tests showed
severe capacity loss he also talked
about people that tried to file warranty
claims and how they were given the
runaround he talked about how DCS did
their own tests and that unlike his very
fairly transparent test that has been
verified by many people to be a fine way
to test a battery many people had
questions about dcs' testing methodology
now you have to understand again
everybody has this bias as a business
owner will be a biasing reputation
against losing money on my compy my
company I tend to bias a little bit like
if I have a one-year warranty on an at
and those of you who have bought from me
you know this is true and something
Fails Like 14 months in I'll just tell
Patrick just send them out another one
and tell them to send this one back on
the honor System we usually do that
because I care about reputation I care
about reputation at the same time if
somebody drops their phone 10 times and
comes into my store cursing out the
front desk clerk I am not giving you
warranty for something you cracked at
the end of the day in spite of all this
we have to acknowledge that all private
businesses have an incentive structure
to not honor the warranty by their
customers the reason that they do this
is because if they honor the warranty
they lose money they create a precedent
that many other people may complain
about the same thing and so on and so so
forth so DCS had their own system for
testing the batteries that were sent to
them and surprise surprise that system
seems to be a little bit different than
the system that Stefan very
transparently demonstrated in his own
videos and had third parties verify was
a good way to test the batteries now if
you take a look at their website over
here you'll notice something where they
talk about the batteries they'll say
that the battery will be determined to
be defective if it fails to deliver less
than 80% of its rated capacity during
the warranty period for normal
installations the battery will be
determined to be defective if it fails
to deliver less than 70% of it rated
capacity during the warranty period when
installed inside engine Bays or engine
compartments policy last updated 14th
June 2021 they put the date backwards
they're Australian they can't help but
they drive in the wrong side of the road
their toilet water spins the wrong way
down they don't mean to be they don't
mean to be like that they were just born
that way you can't hold it against them
unless their name is Paul Daniels but
moving on and being serious with this
let's take a look at this is Stefan's
video on this company defamation or is
it honest in accurate consumer advocacy
and protected speech so they claimed
this policy was last updated June 14th
2021 to put the data around properly I
am doing this video today on July 23rd
2024 that's when I loaded the website so
I decided to go to archive.org and take
a look at this and unfortunately when I
go to archive.org the last mention that
I can find is of February 7th 2023 I
clicked around a little and I couldn't
find anything and when I dug a little
bit more I got this 503 service
unavailable from archive.org so I
decided to do more digging are there any
websites that actually specialize in
dealing with auu websites where the
toilet water goes down the wrong way
they drive in the wrong side of the road
and they put the date the wrong way so I
found the website over here that
actually does archiving this is web
archive. n la.gov.leo
capacity during the warranty period And
if I search for the number 70 in my
browser you'll notice that it never
shows up so over here you can see that
this is the policy policy last updated
June 14th 2021 no change in date if I
take a look over here this is October
28th 2022 we have the same thing 80%
never mentioned 70 if we take a look
over here we have March 9th 2023 still
is 80 and then when we click over here
you'll notice that on November 7th 2023
we scroll down to the bottom of the
website you'll see that it still says
policy last updated June 14th 2021 you
lying [ __ ] scumbags I [ __ ] dare
you to sue me for defamation you have
sued this man for defamation you are
going after him because you believe that
he does not have the resources to defend
himself guess what I do I am not afraid
of bullies and I never will be you are
in the wrong you you are claiming that
this person has committed defamation and
you are trying to get him to take his
videos off of YouTube that rightly
criticize your products your products
claim and your company you are claiming
defamation while simultaneously
misleading your customers you may have a
customer that purchased this product
before November 7th 2023 that believe
that maybe they didn't check their
warranty who has the right to a warranty
where they are covered under any usage
if it goes below 80% Within that
particular time frame you change the
terms of the sale without informing your
customers and you lied to them the
definition of the word lie is a false
statement with deliberate intent to
deceive an intentional untruth something
intended or serving to convey a false
impression or an inaccurate or untrue
statement a falsehood so you are
accusing somebody of defamation while
committing the factual dictionary
definition of a lie in my opinion these
scum bags and yes I will call them
scumbags it's not defamation if it's
true what they have done is they have
lied by the dictionary.com definition of
it and I and at least 2 million people
in my audience would believe that when
somebody lies to violate consumer rights
that makes them despicable these
scumbags changed the warranty policy on
their website meaning that if you had
purchased this battery in March of 2023
you purchased that battery with a
blanket warranty if your capacity drops
below 80% if you had never clicked on
the warranty terms of service and you
had an issue with with your battery in
December of 2023 you would not know that
your battery was covered under an 80%
warranty you would think wrongfully so
that that battery was only covered under
a 70% warranty this probably strikes you
as strange because usually either one of
two things is true a a website is
completely off the radar and archive.org
has no archives or snapshots of it or B
that website is on the radar and you
will see everything from that website
for the past two or five or 10 years if
you look up rossan group.com you can
find this website from back in 2010 you
can't find some of the 2008 20 early
2009 stuff but you can find 2010 rosans
supply.com a company that was defunct in
2013 you can find everything in numerous
updates it was really interesting that
this company that's been around for
quite a while that's had a website for a
long period of time for some reason only
has archive.org from February 2024
onwards and it's also very interesting
that when you take a look at this their
terms of service changed between March
of 202 3 and November of 2023 there are
users of these batteries that have
reached out to me that said that they
reached out to DCS and asked when these
battery terms and conditions changed and
these same individuals said that that is
when they were no longer able to access
those older pages on archive.org now I
am not going to say that I know for a
fact that DCS did something to take
those pages off the Wayback machine I
just think it's kind of funny that they
happen to disappear at that same time I
also think it's a damn good thing that
there are other websites out there that
archive things in case they're missing
from archive.org and I'm sure that the
folks that work at DCS especially their
legal department are glad that Trove
exists as
well it's so much fun when for once for
once I get to do the South Park Cable
Company CEO thing and say yeah I have
another archiving website yes finally
the the customer wins and if you had not
gone to some Australian government
archive website you would have thought
that that policy was in place from June
14th 2021 you would be under the
impression that even though you
purchased your battery in March of 2023
that you only had a 70% Bary warranty
even if you had an 80% because their
website changed the terms of the sale
and pretended that they didn't change
Stefan did not commit an act of
defamation against you but you did
mislead your customers on the warranty
further you do not support your
customers when they have a warranty
issue what Stefan did is he provided a
factual review of your products it is
bad enough that on this piece of garbage
platform that we do not have the ability
to see down votes anymore as a result of
not being able to see down votes you
don't know when you're watching a video
at first glance whether or not this
video is a video that's probably full of
[ __ ] when you see 2,000 up votes and
300,000 down votes you have an idea that
maybe there's something fishy here we
don't have that anymore it's bad enough
that these platform is filled with
reviews from people who are doing all
this affiliate marketing trash as a way
to pay the bills our are sponsored
content where you God knows whether or
not the person who's talking about the
product is actually being honest you got
people with 19 million damn subscribers
that are essentially acting as the pr
arm for $3 trillion companies that
violate consumer rights that talk about
[ __ ] like longevity not being related to
durability the companies that don't
people that don't even know what
longevity means cuz literally the way to
make the device more durable would be to
make it longer if it was longer it would
have been better longer is better as
women have been telling me from 2005 to
2024 there's something to that there is
no way that making that cable longer
would have resulted in the device being
less durable on devices that you refuse
to cover under warranty after accepting
and changing your design once you
figured out that it was faulty you Apple
executive lying gaslighting pieces of
[ __ ] there are heroes on YouTube like Mr
Steve Burke at Gamers Nexus that
actually care about providing factual
reviews that don't shove sponsored
[ __ ] down your throat that don't
care more about their relationships with
sea level Executives at companies that
Lobby against consumer rights than he
does about his own ability to be honest
with his audience people like Steve
Burke don't do what is easy they do what
is easy to live with and that's why I
have respect for Steve Burke but
reviewers like Steve Burke at Gamers
Nexus are not the norm and they are
becoming more and more rare as time goes
on which is why we need to protect
people that provide this level of
coverage on anything on this platform we
already have enough [ __ ] to deal with
with on this platform without people
going after smaller YouTubers who don't
have the capacity to defend themselves
but guess who does I do I [ __ ] dare
you if there's one thing that I despise
in this world it is bullies I [ __ ]
dare you to sue me for defamation I have
gotten four laws passed in three states
in two years using a million dollars
that I raised from both my audience and
the co-founder of WhatsApp I have shown
up in front of State legislatures I have
spoken in front of 10 people and I have
spoken in front of a thousand people I
have made people that make $1 to
$300,000 a year professionally to argue
against Schmucks like me look stupid in
front of a hundred to a thousand people
I will happily do that to you you want
to take me to court I will record the
entire thing I will bring every fact of
the case and I will factually and
logically destroy you for lying about
this person's content and for trying to
remove honest and accurate reviews of
your products you pick on the little guy
you pick on people that can't defend
themselves guess what I have the money
to defend myself I have the money if
necessary to hire a lawyer if you file a
false defamation claim on this content
that accurately describes the fact that
your website is misleading people on
warranty and I will include the
citations in the video description below
I am not afraid of bullies I take on
bullies every single day you people are
bullies and you are picking on this
small Channel because they factually
objectively and transparently
demonstrated how you did not cover your
products in the warranty how you change
the terms of the sale after the sale and
how your products have capacity issues
in spite of the fact that they are being
utilized in the manner in which you
advertise those products you want to
take me to court to defamation let's
have fun you want to be the [ __ ] be the
whole [ __ ] go after somebody your own
[ __ ] size try suing somebody who has
the money to defend them because I do I
could afford my own lawyer without
having to go to go fund me and I would
have a ball going to court and filming
the entire factual dismantling of every
single one of your false claims you want
to be the [ __ ] be the whole [ __ ] and
go after somebody your own [ __ ] size
on this channel when Apple asked me to
remove my content I did not I have gone
out of my way to tell Google to go f
themselves on their own platform I don't
listen to bullies I don't respond to
bullies and I will never back down in
the face of a company like this going
after somebody who left a factual honest
and transparent review with all the
information that independent users have
on how to conduct those tests themselves
and come to their own conclusions what
you have done is you have bullied that
YouTuber now a word on Mr Stefan Fischer
I know this is going to be unpopular but
it has to be said sir you have double
the subscribers that I had when Apple
and their Attorneys at Kilpatrick and
Townsen called me requesting politely
that I take down my video they had
reasons for me wanting me to take down
my video and there were legal reasons
behind the mass meting to take down my
video I never took down my video this
video shows you how to fix an a1466
MacBook Air if the resistor which acts
as a fuse between the motherboard and
the trackpad which is also the keyboard
controller happens to die so that you
could fix your device yourself without
having to go one to two weeks without it
and sending it to Apple for a $750
repair this video was educational I was
morally in the right I was ethically in
the right and because I knew I was
morally and ethically in the right it
didn't matter that my channel had less
than half the subscribers that your did
nor did it matter that I was going up
against a company that at the time had
something like a 500 billion to $1
trillion market cap I knew that if I
gave into the bully once that I'd be
giving into the bully every single time
further you have to understand that
there are people out there that are
going to stick up for you they're going
to stand up for you but they can't stand
up for you if you take down your videos
Sir you took down your videos I had to
contact you personally to find these
videos because they are privated and
anybody that watches your content that
is new to your content is not going to
be able to see that your videos did
nothing wrong if you take your videos
down there may even be a question in
people's minds as to whether or not you
believe that they are defamation when
they are not you need to put your videos
back up Sir because you did nothing
wrong in the words of the great Art
Carney that's right that's right he's
going to twist you and him in a book end
you got nothing to worry about R you're
in the right nobody can push you around
I was in the right when I made that
video which is why I never privated it
and you are in the right right here and
as long as you are in the right you can
never let somebody push you around
because there are people on YouTube that
will defend you but in order to defend
you in order to create factual legal and
electronics engineering based defenses
to everything that you said so that you
could win in court even if you didn't
have a lawyer you need to let these
people view your content they need to be
able to organically find it there are
heroes on YouTube like Mr Steve Burke at
Gamers Nexus that'll be more than happy
to go over something like this there are
people like Mr Dave Jones at EV blog who
lives in Australia who is a professional
electronics engineer who I am confident
would be more than happy to go over
every single detail of your case and go
over why DCS is wrong why what you did
is factually and objectively correct
according to best practices and
electronics engineering and why DCS
doesn't have a foot to stand on there
are many people that will be happy to
support you but when you take your
content down a they can't watch it to
figure out if you're right so there's
always going to be that little bit of
doubt in their mind as to whether or not
DCS is a point B they're not going to be
able to even see it even if they didn't
have doubts about you to actually
respond to it and see above all it sends
a message that you not just you but
every other product reviewer on YouTube
that provides factual honest objective
reviews can be bullied do not allow
yourself to be bullied trust in the
community trust that there are a
community of people that will stand
behind you if you are morally and
ethically in the right I was there are
many reasons that I have lost hair in
the past 10 years that I have been on
YouTube to the point where even Lacy at
diesel Barber Shop can barely make this
look like anything but the rug that it
is
there are many reasons that I've lost
the amount of hair that I have and one
of them is the fact that I was afraid
that a company with an approximate $
trillion market cap was going to destroy
my business I kept the video up anyway I
trusted in the community I trusted that
people would rally around me if I did
the right thing and that's what happened
at that point in time I had
approximately 50 to 150 videos up
demonstrating how to do repairs that
everybody back then was keeping private
nowadays after 2017 18 1920 you got
hundreds of Facebook groups with people
publicly talking about border repair
dozens of channels going over all this
stuff back in 2012 2013 you didn't have
this stuff anybody that knew how to do
this stuff kept it close to the vest
because they belied that they would lose
business if they were able to help
somebody else I helped other people and
I did the right thing even before my
channel was monetized before anybody
knew who I was as a result of it when
somebody larger came after me they
rallied around me the community help me
and they won but in order to do that you
have to keep your content up you are in
the right and because you're in the
right you you should let nobody push you
around let other people help you put
your videos back up Sir make them public
so everybody can see that you never
defame DCS but rather you provided an
accurate representation of their
failings I'm sure there are many people
with much more money much more exposure
much larger audiences and much better
legal teams than I have that would be
more than happy to stand up for you I've
always said on this channel for the past
12 years don't trust me but I will ask
you to trust in the community and I will
ask ask you to trust in the idea that if
you are in the right if you tell the
truth whatever happens is going to be
the best possible thing but in order for
you to tell the truth you need to have a
voice which means that your videos must
go back to being public in conclusion
Stephan Fischer is a consumer Advocate I
am a consumer Advocate by going after
Stephan Fischer you are also going after
me not just me but everybody on this
website that provides honest truthful
objective transparent unsponsored
reviews that are honest to their viewers
I am crazy I have always been crazy I am
not afraid of the people that I should
be afraid of I'm not afraid of New York
City's tax department when they try to
take me for everything I own I'm not
afraid of the person that tried to stab
me 10 years ago while I was walking home
from Marcy Avenue a person who left that
situation considerably worse off than I
did and I'm not afraid of you I don't
like bullies Google my resume and look
up what I've been doing for the past 12
years and if you want to there's a Texas
saying that I feel like I finally
assimilated to [ __ ] around
and find out
