Electronic Frontier Foundation Sues Uri Geller

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the totally-saw-that-coming dept.

reversible physicist writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation has sued spoon-bender Uri Geller for using 'baseless copyright claims' to silence critics who question his paranormal powers. Brian Sapient posted on YouTube a 14-minute excerpt from the 1993 PBS NOVA program 'Secrets of the Psychics,' in which skeptic James Randi says Geller's spoon-bending feats were simple tricks. YouTube took down the video after Geller complained — his lawyers claim that 10 seconds of the video are owned by Geller. A shorter excerpt of the video is still up on YouTube."

    One again the slashdot mods showing they are unable to handle a point of view which differs from their own.

    I don't think you quite understand how Slashdot works: WE (the folks who comment) are the moderators.
