4,000 Anti-Scientology Videos Yanked From YouTube
An anonymous reader writes "From the EFF webpage: 'Over a period of twelve hours, between this Thursday night and Friday morning, American Rights Counsel LLC sent out over 4000 DMCA takedown notices to YouTube, all making copyright infringement claims against videos with content critical of the Church of Scientology.'"
Hubbard-approved
For reasons I do not understand, Xenu and clan seem immune to reaping the consequences of their actions.
Scientology: The Teflon Religion
Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever.
They got thetans to do it, using their special powers.
I wrote my first program at the age of six, and I still can't work out how this website works.
You can't win, Hubbard. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
We should handle this like the Romans did. Let the Scientologists plead their case for their "religion" in a Colosseum in front of a jury of their peers*.
*Slight change in programming, "a jury of your peers" will now be played by lions. Enjoy the show!
Are scientologists required by their beliefs to silence all criticism no matter what the cost is? My respect for Hubbard will increase a lot if they are... adding a self destruct commandment to his cult in case it ever got out of control.
Wonder how the Cult of Scientology would respond to someone spamming Scientology members w/ emails containing the text of the OT3 and having a return address of:
LRon@hell.gov
You know, kinda like spoiling the ending of a bad movie for someone who hasn't finished watching it yet?
... leaving them with 250,000 more to send.
I say go to it. The only way these jokers can know which videos to hit with a DMCA is to watch them. Maybe if they're exposed to anti-CoS messages enough, it'll start to crack through the brainwashing, and they'll free themselves.
So keep posting those videos, folks! It's good karma.

Yeah, that worked so well the first time... -_-;
Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
It's my view that the people complaining most are the same Christians who hate Jews, Muslims and any other religious believers that don't follow their God.
I have no religion* and they hate me too.
*not strictly true, I told the government I was a Jedi, so I must be.

Soon they'll be breeding us like cattle! You've got to warn everyone and tell them! Scientology is made of people! You've got to tell them! Scientology is people!
Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48, and am what some people call "mentally retarded".
Calling $cientology a cult is like calling the Spanish Inquisition a mild theological disagreement.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
Well then, I say they need to prove that Xenu authorizes them to act on his behalf.

Also trap their souls with a soul trapping contraption and deposit them on a different planet where their brain washed souls will attach themselves to future life forms.
The real tragedy is the number of dyslexic diabetics who end up reading that book of theirs.
I'd like to mod you "+1 Infinite Loop" but I can't find the option.

I doubt that we will ever figure out - and I suspect that even if we did figure out we couldn't do much about it
...or the script of Battlefield Earth.
this whole karma thing is overrated ;)
Just say whatever you want and ignore the karma.

now, that's just mean.
"If for any reason you're not satisfied with our service, I hate you."
Food, with some you get a cracker, but with others you become crackers.
"Aside from the above, if Scientology teaches purification of the body, why is Christie Alley so damn fat?"
Too many thetans?

Nah, hell is definitely a subdomain of .gov
Not really. If there's one thing we know for sure about Scientologists, it's that their tolerance for bad science fiction is *really* high.
Redundancy is good And also good.
Not to mention satire, no matter how poor taste it may be - is protected. That gives us the right to mock Xenu and Scientology as much as we want - or heck, why stop there? How about that white Jesus shown in every church I've ever been to? I imagine the dude looked a lot more like Osama bin Laden than any white guy. I think the conversation with Bush would be hilarious -
Jesus: I am not a terrorist!
Bush: with a name like Jesus bin Nazareth, you are obviously a terrorist. All you 'bin' guys are terrorists.
Jesus: bin means 'from' you idiot!
Bush: tell that to Allah you turbanhead
Jesus: but I'm Christian you moron!
Bush: you guys would say anything - I am the DECIDER, and I decide you go to Guantanamo bay - take him away boys!
(feds drag Jesus off)
I think someone needs to make the 'cutoff point' a bit more literal.
which is totally what she said
It's Apple's new buttplug internet appliance. It stops you from spewing forth pseudo-legalese rhetoric from your ass.
I find it rather amusing that an anti-Scientology YouTube video is linked to as a comment on "4,000 Anti-Scientology Videos Yanked From YouTube" :D
Xenu set us up the bomb?
What you say?
Mess not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Like, right below the chin?
I remember when MOD was an audio format, and DOS wasn't a network attack....
Yeah, you might as well ban legal discussions on /. if you do that.
Then our only option will be to have illegal discussions in dark alleys.
All 19 hijackers were known terrorists 09-10-2001. Lack of FBI intelligence does not justify warrantless wiretaps..
