YouTube Reposts Anti-Scientology Videos
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."
Is there some kind of rule that if it's in a hyperlink, it's spelled 'DCMA', but if it's plain text, it's 'DMCA'?
Get with the program. Today is Transposed Tuesday.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
Do races get protections? Unless they claim some first people's type of race (i.e. the Thetos or whatever they're called were here before us all), I imagine they wouldn't.
Otherwise, I will be claiming protections as well. I am a member of the human race, the Canadian race and I was shortlisted to be on the Amazing Race.
Wait, you mean the crap they showed on South Park was really was these people believe?!
To be completely fair, they were DC-8s.
Yea, DC-10s just makes no sense at all!

Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
It's nothing more than a half-assed lie-detector.
And since lie-detectors themselves are no more than a half-assed lie-detectors, I'm curious as to exactly what fraction of an ass an e-meter has...
Last post!
They actually claimed that it was a *scientific finding* that common anesthesia drugs were discovered permanently stored in people's fat tissue, among other things.
Well, that would explain my need for a post-lunch nap!
Why, without your clothes, you're naked, Miss Dudley!
Thanks, now I have to get 'clear' again...
Some people are only alive because it's against the law for me to hunt them down and kill them.
I know what Bollocks means, but every time i read and /or hear it it falls flat. Its just not a good word (swear or otherwise), in and of itself. It just lends itself to further the impression that Great Brittan is just strange. Plus "pants". Honestly "pants". You need to stick to the olde english style four letter words for effect. If you need to take an existing word and make it an expression of displeasure use a quick owrd with a biting sound like " cow, pig, hat,rat, tick"
Scientology is a race, alright. A Master Race.
A master race to see who can hit rock bottom first, right?
No, wait... switch the first and last ones.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has never yet spilled blood. Only pasta sauce.
thus preventing the legitimate copyright holder from keeping their copyright.
punish the criminal. in this case that is whoever sent the notices.
This is slashdot. Don't you know that around here simply owning a copyright considered a criminal act and illegitimate.
Not to worry -- they'll just get 4000 thetans to serve the sentence.
