Depends on the local jurisdiction whether they can issue an injunction. The good news is that Adnan Oktar aka Harun Yahya probably will not answer a complaint in a local small claims court therefore you would win a default judgment of up to $5,000 or more (amount depends on jurisdiction) which would be all that YouTube would need to take it down and you could also try to seize any advertising funds generated (if any) by YouTube on behalf of Harun Yahya. Plus it might be sufficient cause to get the YouTube user banned since they submitted an affidavit under threat of perjury that they were entitled to use video.
Downsides: 1) They could answer charge and have it dismissed in favor of moving it to a Federal court. 2) Filing fee of ~ $50 (amount depends on jurisdiction)
But then I've always like tilting at windmills.
Another idea is that maybe they have done this numerous times and it involved 5 or more people then maybe you could sue under RICO statutes which might entice a lawyer working on a percentage basis to take the case. Then again, my "limited knowledge" of the RICO statutes make me believe it is under utilized by private citizens which leads me to wonder if I know just enough to sound ignorant.
As important as anything else you can do, find a mentor who is willing to help you by providing advice, critical critiques, recommendations and referrals. After ability, experience is crucial to success so finding somebody who is willing to share theirs is extremely helpful.
Also, if possible choose non-profits that have relationships and/or other volunteers from local businesses who could be exposed to you and your work. This will lead to referrals for paying jobs that could end up being lucrative as well as looking good on your resume.
Poor customer service from phone carriers and the manufacturers. Sign the customer to a 2-year contract and/or get his money in their greedy little hands then screw the customer
ARM processors are developed by ARM Holdings but they don't actually manufacturer them; they licensed to many different manufacturers. That's why you see different manufacturers with the same product because they license the technology and implement it in their own proprietary ways.
I wish I had several right now. Alarm system, zone control of HVAC system, cheap simple merchandise kiosks, virtually anything you prototype with the Arduino or Netduino that you could develop into a small run custom product; the possibilities are limited only by imagination.
I think it's an interesting concept that could lead to developing usable low volume products tailored for a specific need at a low cost as long as the cost of the card ends up being under $20. It will give an architecture to develop hardware devices with an upgrade path for processor and peripherals. It's not for creating a desktop PC for the average user.
I imagine false positives would be handled by human agents looking at the photograph, then looking at the person's face in real life, and perhaps talking to them.
If you're lucky, you won't spend more than the weekend in jail before they correct their mistake.
Now I for one do not have a problem with them using public surveillance or Driver's License ID's. If you go out in Public, you consent to being watched by the same public and by extension, the Government. It is completely acceptable and good for them to use this legally obtained data in an automated recongnition system. Yes there needs to be checks and balances but the problem doesn lie in the source of the images.
You might not, but there are lots of us that do mind being tracked. There are lots of people in jail because the police add 2 + 2 and get 5.
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

2) Our anti trust laws are about protecting consumers. You have to prove consumers were harmed by higher prices. The government has to wait till Amazon raises prices. The government can also bring a case if they find a witness or documents showing Amazon plans to raise prices.
Not always true. It's more about protecting "fair" competition not protecting consumers. If it was about protecting the consumers, the courts would not have struck down parts of the Anti-trust laws that stopped manufacturers from forcing retailers to sell at list price. Xbox's, PlayStations, Kitchen Aid mixers (notice how everybody sells the same models for the same price) are all examples where the consumers interests are not protected but the profits of the corporations are protected by our legal system.

I was actually thinking about getting one of the new Kindle Fires but this changes my mind.
