Creationists Violating Copyright
The_Rook writes "The Discovery Institute, more a lawyer mill than a scientific institution, copied Harvard University's BioVisions video 'The Inner Life of the Cell,' stripped out Harvard's copyright notice, credits, and narration, inserted their own creationist-friendly narration, and renamed the video 'The Cell As an Automated City.' The new title subtly suggests that a cell is designed rather than evolved."
Yes, but parody is fair use. What else could one conclude other than that the laughably ridiculous antics of Creationists are nothing more than a parody of science?
I can already tell we'll see the double standard from people commenting on this story: people who download music and other copyright material every day without paying but will somehow be outraged by this terrible display of disregard for copyright. How dare they!!
This author takes full ownership and responsibility for the unpopular opinions outlined above.
Are you this dumb? Seriously, are you? Or just serves your purpose? You forgot to mention that Michael Moore tried to get Charlton Heston to comment on that, and he declined (as shown on Bowling for Columbine).... Not to mention that they didn't insert any narration to what was said by Charlton Heston, so it was the raw material that was shown.
You muppets get dumber by the second if you truly believe that going from mentaly challenged propaganda to half truths takes you anywhere.
No, the problem is that evolution is given undue weight in the biological sciences and is often represented as fact when it is still just theory. An additional problem (compounded by misrepresenting evolution as fact instead of theory) is that it has been allowed to supplant the position of "creator" by those who practice the humanist religion.
