Somebody appears to be cataloging the documents, including the TRO, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RecklessBen/comments/1tqrdei/compla...

The TRO applies to "co-Defendants (including DOES 1-15), their affiliates, co-conspirators, employees, contractors, agents and representatives, and anyone acting in concert with them, directly or indirectly, in person, remotely or online".

It includes several items, most of them about doxxing or threats, going to the store.

One thing that intrigues me is items I and K:

I: Destroying, deleting, altering or failing to preserve videos, raw footage, outtakes, communications, texts, emails, Discord/Patreon posts, YouTube comments, analytics, phone records, call logs, police communications and documents relating to Bricks & Minifigs, the LEGO collection dispute, threats and the creation/promotion of the videos;

K: Maintaining the current Publications (as such term is defined in the Verified Complaint) and any other video, audio or other form of publication posted on any online streaming platform by Co-Defendants, directly or indirectly, and requiring that the Publications and any such other communications published by co- Defendants be immediately removed and/or taken down from any online streaming platform or otherwise published that in any way relate to the private legal dispute underlying this matter between Bryan and Chrystal and the assertions of wrongdoing as described in this Verified Complaint.

So they have to preserve the content but also must remove it.

I suspect Patreon's lawyers' stance is that the TRO does not apply to them (they're not acting in concert with the defendant, they're just running their service), and that item K instructs the defendants to remove the content, it doesn't require Patreon to remove it. So the remedy would be for the plantiff to go back to court and say "the plantiffs didn't take the content down" and either have the judge enforce some further penalty or issue an order specifically instructing Patreon to remove the content.
