Terrorists Used False DMCA Claims To Get Personal Data of Anti-Islamic Youtuber

An anonymous reader writes German newspaper FAZ reports (google translated version) that, after facing false DMCA claims by "FirstCrist, Copyright" and threatened by YouTube with takedown, a youtuber running the German version of Islam-critic Al Hayat TV had to disclose their identity in order to get the channel back online. Later, the channel staff got a mail containing a death threat by "FirstCrist, Copyright", containing: "thank you for your personal data. [...] take care your house gets police protection!" Employee names are now on Al Qaeda black lists.

If you are against copyright, you want the terrorists to win. Please don't try wrapping your head around this yourself: highly skilled congress members are already wrapping their hands around this for you.

I agree, albeit in the general sense. There's a group of mentally deranged humans that make the other 5% look bad.
