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.'"
I was wondering why the only videos I saw on YouTube were the dramatic prairie dog ones.
Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
They claim they don't rape the alterboys anymore.
And regards to those protesters, I just want to ask what has the Scientologists done to you - personally?
I have never heard anything where the Scientoloists have a policy of hurting people. Sure, they may use some heavy handed legal techniques, but it's within the legal system and apparently those judges involved thought they had grounds. And as far as charging folks hundred of thousands of dollars to get to a level - so what? It's their money. It doesn't harm anyone. There are folks who voluntarily give that much and more to their church, temple, etc...
The Church of Scientology isn't even on my list a problem organization. Some people need to get a grip and need to learn how evaluate things better.
greed, fear & ego are unprecedented evile's primary weapons. those, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' life0cidal hired goons' agenda. most of yOUR dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'wars', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid schemes. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & the notion of prosperity, not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one. see you on the other side of it. the lights are coming up all over now. conspiracy theorists are being vindicated. some might choose a tin umbrella to go with their hats. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster. meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/28/vermont.banning.bush.ap/index.html
the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? gener
Yes.
Then again, who cares about the Scientologists? No one except rejected 4chan newfags.
But it is a time for the U.S government to arrest the top of CoS and ban the cult.
Exactly what part of the US Constitution do you think allows the Federal Government to "ban" a cult?
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Since when is youtube an ISP? Why the heck was this even modded Insightful?
Also...would you like to provide the money they would need to hire people to watch every single video uploaded and then determine if it violates the DMCA in some way? Because without hiring a large amount of people that is extremely impractical. And if they do NOT have the people needed to do this, making them responsible for DMCA violations in videos that are uploaded is retarded at best.
Numbers...
A few crackpots is a cult, millions of crackpots are a religion.
Historically, I'd say around 500-600 or so is the cutoff point for cults.
-- You are in a maze of little, twisty passages, all different... --
This sort of insanity is exactly the reason that "freedom of religion" should not be protected at all: there should be no different level for anyone, just because they choose to label something with the ill-defined term "religion". I wrote a little about this in a previous post.
As you say, if the conduct is unlawful then they should be dealt with like anyone else. If it is not, then they should suffer no penalty for whatever they choose to believe. Religion simply shouldn't enter the picture here.
If you disagree, post your argument. (-1, Overrated) isn't your personal censorship tool for views you don't like.
Okay, so scientology believes in aliens. I don't care. So they swindle and scam and rob people. I don't care. Maybe the conspiracy people are right when they say people have even died from it. Okay. I still don't care. I don't get why people obsess about scientology so much. The only thing lamer than scientology are the people who spend their whole life angry about scientology.
