They really make it too easy…

In my post, “Why should McCain’s lies surprise anyone?”, a commenter actually has the nerve to post a link to a YouTube video that features a voiced-over Obama. If you’re gonna fabricate video, you should do a lot better job. Here’s the video link, you judge for yourself. Meanwhile, Glenn, you really should shut up, you’re not doing your side any favours…

Congratulations to the climate delayers, for 16 years of inaction

Here’s a video from the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, June 3-14 1992. It’s David Suzuki’s daughter, Severn, pleading for urgent action.

Creation Science Evangelism fraudulent claims on YouTube

If you haven’t heard about this one yet, Kent Hovind’s Creation Science Evangelism (CSE) is resorting to blatant fraud in order to have videos removed from YouTube. In short, for videos that they want removed, they claim they own the copyright, YouTube has no choice but to remove them, under US law. One of the videos removed was this one, (Not Safe For Work)

The place to start would be this posting at arstechnica.com.

“From reports that we are getting, starting yesterday a user account on YouTube, called cseministry, began fraudulently claiming that any video which criticized the felon, cheat, liar, fraud, huckster, etc. Kent Hovind violated the copyrights of the Creation Science Evangelism.

Under the draconian DMCA, CSE can use such false claims to silence their critics, with little legal risk to themselves. Once a claim has been filed, YouTube is required by US Law to remove the content immediately and without any review. The real copyright holders then have to jump through hoops to get their content back on YouTube, that is assuming that they haven’t already been falsely banned.”
