YouTube Reposts Anti-Scientology Videos

Posted by timothy on Tuesday September 9, 2008 @03:38AM from the fun-and-easy-to-destroy-stuff dept.

Ian Lamont writes "YouTube has reposted anti-Scientology videos and reinstated suspended YouTube accounts after receiving thousands of apparently bogus DCMA take-down notices. Four thousand notices were sent to YouTube last Thursday and Friday by American Rights Counsel, LLC. After YouTube users responded with counter-notices, many of the videos were reposted. It turns out that the American Rights Counsel had no copyright claim on the videos, and the group may not even exist, although the text of the DCMA notices have been linked to a Wikipedia editor. While filing a false DMCA notice is a criminal offense, prosecution in these cases rarely comes about."

Whatever iluminati/freemason paranoia or real conspiracy exists with scientology, that pales to the anti-gay and other affronts that Christianity brings. Where more than half are Christians, at least it's...different.

Big difference. Lunacy and insanity were penned into the very core of Scientology, along with the authorization to decimate your "enemies", be they real or perceived. The other preaches love and for your fellow man, despite the behaviors of a very vocal minority.
