Santos accused Kimmel and ABC of committing copyright infringement, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract and unjust enrichment; however, those claims were dismissed as fair use.
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote stated that the airing of Kimmel's videos was protected by "fair use" exemptions due to their use for political commentary and criticism.
After pleading guilty to felonies, Santos admitted to not doing his job "with honor," showing a shift in his self-perception amidst legal troubles.
The case against Santos was dismissed, reinforcing the notion that political commentary often enjoys protections that allow for creative critiques of public figures.
