YouTube hostnames are currently redirected at the DNS level to a page that announces the court order."

    I don't care what he did. Winston Churchill did great things when he lead Britain to defeat the Nazis, yet I can call him a fat drunken slob without fear of recrimination if I so desire.

    You can also call him an alcoholic, but he might tell you you're ugly, and that he'll be sober in the morning.
