If even creationists can DMCA criticism videos, what does that say about the system? Its so easy that a dumbfuck creatard can take down videos, because it offends their big fairy in the sky.

Josh Timonen was the shitty admin of RDF forums who is responsible for the place closing down. He was accused of stealing money from the foundation but the case was dismissed. Doesn't surprise me that this piece of scum would sink to abusing copyright law to get back at Dawkins.

Richard Dawkins' wonderful Youtube channel was shut down due to copyright claims by Upper Branch Production, which is owned by Josh Timonen. I don't know how that guy sleeps at night. The closing had nothing to do with false DMCAs by religious nutters, but by a vindictive and petty little tosser. I understand Dawkins and some others are disputing it. I don't see how someone else could own videos of Dawkins giving interviews etc. It's bizarre.

Sounds great for freedom of speech that videos can be taken down so easy.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

No indeed. Poor thing even had to hire a special minder 'friend' to protect him from all those wicked atheists.
As you all know, I'm not usually one for internet drama (

) but I have to admit there was no more satisfying sight than this one:
