YouTube Threatens To Remove Scientist's Account Over AIDS Deniers' DMCA Claims

Posted by samzenpus on Monday February 17, 2014 @11:09AM from the I-don't-want-to-hear-it dept.

First time accepted submitter EwanPalmer writes "YouTube is threatening to remove the account of a scientist who made a series of videos debunking claims made in an AIDS denialist movie over copyright infringement disagreement. Myles Power is claiming the producers of controversial 2009 documentary House of Numbers are attempting to censor him by submitting bogus DMCA claims against him. He says his movies do not breach copyright laws because his films are educational and therefore fair use. The 'AIDS denialist' documentary makers say they instead amounted to 'propaganda.'"

Congratulations, you are now a Holocaust denier. Be careful to never set foot in Europe, or even fly into their airspace.

Even questioning the number that died is enough to get you that label, and put you in prison there. There can be no discussion. No new research is allowed unless it agrees with the legislated numbers (I guess you have to know beforehand). It's absolute madness.

There is a reason the West is fading. This is a symptom caused by the same disease.
