Creationists Silence Critics with DMCA

Gothmog of A writes "As Richard Dawkins' offcial site reports, an organization called Creation Science Evangelism Ministries has been submitting DMCA copyright requests to YouTube. This has resulted in the Rational Response Squad (RRS) being banned after they protested against videos being taken down and accounts being closed. The RRS videoes attack creationism (AKA intelligent design) and promote the atheist viewpoint. According to the RRS, the copyright requests are without merit since the material in question is covered by fair use or has been declared to be in the public domain. Behind Creation Science Evangelism Ministries is the infamous Kent Hovind (AKA Dr. Dino) who is currently serving jail time for tax evasion."

Dear Whiners,

We here at YouTube are all about free speech. We like it so much we are an outlet for free speech.

Starting immediately, we have implemented a policy so that things are kept fair and balanced around here for the First Amendment. Every time you request a certain video/user removed just because you don't like what they have to say, not only will their account/video be deleted, but an account/video that advocates your point of view will also deleted.

There will be some dissent over this policy in the short term. However, in the long term it will serve to stop filling our email boxes full of whining complaints and petty bullshit.

For those wanting to play the DMCA card where it doesn't belong, we have also instituted a policy of banning your IP so that we don't have to listen to your illiterate ass.

Play nice in the sandbox and make YouTube a thing that all can enjoy!

Sincerely,
The YouTube Management

> It goes against base thermodynamic principles, but we don't hear the Darwinites ... whining about that.

"Creationists always try to use the second law
  to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw.
  The second law is quite precise about where it applies.
  Only in a closed system must the entropy count rise.
  The Earth is not a closed system, it's powered by the Sun
  so fuck the damn creationists! Doomsday, get my gun!"

I feel that I should post to this post from Fundies say the Darndest Things in this debate. It's amazing how people can parrot the same things over and over, without ever realising what it is they're saying:

One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.

Gullibility is indeed a negative concept

So negative, in fact, that the word has been removed from dictionaries and other reference works.
