on november 13, 2016, dr. seuss enterprises filed a complaint in california federal court accusing hauman's website, comicmix, of violating the intellectual property of theodor s. geisel (aka dr. seuss) with its crowd-funded book "oh, the places you'll boldly go!", a portmanteau of the dr. seuss children's book "oh, the places you'll go!", and the phrase "to boldly go where no one has gone before", from "star trek". the lawsuit stated that hauman's book, which parodies both "star trek" and various dr. seuss books, including "oh, the places you'll go!", "horton hears a who", "how the grinch stole christmas!", "the lorax", and "the sneetches and other stories", copied dr. seuss' copyrighted work, including recreating entire pages from his books "with meticulous precision." the lawsuit also stated that the book's violation of dr. seuss' trademark would create confusion in the minds of the public as to dr. seuss's approval or licensing. the defendants maintained that the satirical nature of the comicmix book is protected under fair use. in may 2018, u.s district court judge janis sammartino found in favor of comicmix on the issue of dr. seuss' trademark, ruling that its book was "a highly transformative work that takes no more than necessary to accomplish its transformative purpose and will not impinge on the original market for plaintiff's underlying work." in march 2019, sammartino similarly found in favor of comicmix on the issue of copyright, ruling that "oh, the places you'll boldly go!" was protected under fair use, because its authors borrowed "no more than was necessary for their purposes," and those elements "were always adapted or transformed," and "imbued with a different character."

in 2008, an episode of the "pds" used footage of the 2008 toronto propane explosion captured by then 24-year-old saejin oh without permission, a violation of youtube's community guidelines. "i’m disgusted by it," said oh in an e-mail exchange. "personally, i’m not worried they stole my video or made profit out of it. i’m rather more disgusted by the fact that they used a video of real-life event that caused death of two people to pay tribute to ... a movie." defranco declined a request from "wired" for an interview on the subject. saejin oh submitted a youtube copyright strike with youtube, and the entire "pds" video (not just the short segment featuring oh's content) was eventually taken down. the video received over 351,094 views and had monetization enabled, giving defranco potentially hundreds of dollars from google adsense (if earning the average cpm).
