Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, September 08, 2008

A mysterious group called the American Rights Counsel LLC has sent at least 4,000 DMCA copyright takedown demands for anti-Scientology videos on YouTube -- including some that were uploaded by the copyright holders. "How can someone else file a claim against a video I made?" asked one user whose video was taken offline.

a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.

Scientology is one fucked up organization.

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion"

How could this have happened?????

Yet another example of Google, the supposed free-thinking champion of free information for all, caving immediately to a censorship request from an authoritarian organization. They cave to China by blocking content as requested by the governement, they cave to the Scientology cabal, they put their bottom line ahead of their ersatz idealism. The Google corporate motto is "Don't Be Evil", but they seem to have no problem enabling others to be so.

Google is the new General Motors.

It's fairly "clear" that writing that $8 million check must have finally demonstrated to ElRon's Army (Navy?) that those pesky Thetans ain't going quietly.

It's a cult with uniforms and bad B-movie props.


I wonder when the christian/jew/muslims/hindu posts will be deleted too?

Scientology, Obama and Muslim critics have all been pulled off Google's YouTube.

Not really sure what that means, but it sounds kinda cool.

Wasn't that Rod Stewart/The Faces first album?

Yep, "Stay With Me" is on it.

It means if you are too ignorant to see the larger problems (blind) going on, then you shouldn't try to worry about the smaller ones (a nod or a wink).

Seems as though they didn't catch this gem!

Cult. And a bad one.

Scientology fundamentalists! The taliban in them made them do it!

All that can be seen of you tube is their yellow belly shining into the sun. They didn't cave in, they rolled over and begged for forgiveness.

It shouldn't be up to the party that posts to prove beyond a doubt that there is or isn't infringement. The complaining party must prove that to the satisfaction of the You Tube legal eagles.

Gutless assholes have more balls than the potato head Tubers.

They didn't cave, in a sense. They listened to their lawyers.

Think about it. How many organizations have been shut down by their lawsuits? There are a lot of poor people due to the lawsuits.

Lawsuits have power to change the wills of people when the lawsuits eats up your money. Just ask the gov't.

Didn't the gov't win a supreme court ruling only to cave to the lawsuits?

SCREW GOOGLE

Go old school - AV DOT COM

Can we have them remove any reference to George W. Bush like they did at the Republican National Convention?

Welcome to the New World. If you believe in the constitution and freedom of speech your butt will be booted out promptly!

Fascism is gaining strength!

I didn't know "Google" meant "spineless".

A simple search turned up:

www.youtube.com
www.youtube.com
www.youtube.com

That's three videos critical of Scientology. Pulling intellectual property is not the same as pulling criticism.

Speaking of intellectual property, I think they missed one.

The Church of Scientology flexed its legal muscles in order to silence critics. And in other late-breaking news, the sun rose this morning.
