Discovery Institute - you spineless vermin - please dmca this video!

[enkeksinickia]

dpr, I need to know. Do you get a kick out of knowing that what you´re doing is the right thing or do you go all these lenghts for just the sake of beeing good/right? Or maybe little bit of both?

[mattyabsley]

Time to give Casey Luskin a hard time, he is christian, he loves a good persecution. Will be great for him. lol.

[bigblakblob2]

woot... acording to those crazy christians (not saying they all are) but acording to them. we should burn everyone if they are slightly different.

[myrmecia1977]

hmmmmm burn the different ones......

[natman48]

someone seriously needs to sue these cunts.

[generaleskimo]

SUE THEM! SUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMM!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

I want to see Casey Luskin living in a cardboard box for the rest of his life. We live in a capitalist society, so our ability to survive and make money is dependent on our willingness to contribute to society. Luskin participates in the educational equivalent of terrorism, and exist only to waste time of people who would otherwise be curing cancer or teaching kids science who will later cure cancer.

[Jacena]

Good luck =)

[janeyanna]

My, Mr. Jones, you appear to be quite pissed about these fals DMCA claims :D

I love how you aim at the DI's balls and then kick them repeatedly!

[Katsuhisa777]

Gotta keep em down or they'll get back up with another euphemism for creation :P

[TimCubUAkbar]

If the Discovery Institute is consists of spineless vermin, then evolution must not be true. Those of us who have backbones were obviously created to be of superior intellect to those blithering, precordate morons.

[dwolfcoach]

Tim...,

So what would be the "design" for new organisms to evolve, when your contempt for evidence results in your extinction? DI doesn't "discover" anything other than new paper to repackage bogus claims that NEVER publish to peer reviewed journals.

As far as DI being spineless, they're not, but the courts operate on reason. Their extinction will be soon and swift and their minions will be left to more sectarian divisiveness. So much for Jesus the prince of peace!

[TimCubUAkbar]

Just to be clear, I don't actually think we were designed by anything other than the DNA code that lies within all of our cells. Nor do I believe that we were created by anything other than our biological parents. My other comment was meant to poke fun at the brainless (and spineless) proponents of ID.

[dwolfcoach]

I reread your post, sorry. I am not very good at reading people's intent. The chordate comment should have been my clue. Ooops!

I don't think they're spineless, for the record, but their neurons surely don't fire to the top floor and they seem so opposite of their forgivness model.

[Gaaminator]

@TimCubUAkbar well then where did the DNA code come from genius? If you throw random letters together they do not make a book. Common sense debunks this.

[TimCubUAkbar]

@Gaaminator It is obvious, Gaaminator, that you haven't tried to throw enough random letters together. Only certain combinations of nucleotides do anything at all. If you truly believe we were created perfectly, how is it that I can live perfectly well after having my gallbladder removed? In fact, it would seem that I function better without it, despite the theory that your God intended me to have it. Common sense may seem to debunk, but reality is what actually triumphs.

[Gaaminator]

@TimCubUAkbar your right. In fact its not even like throwing letters together its more like throwing a bunch of paint on a piece of paper and expecting organised sentences and paragraphs.

[atheistram]

@Gaaminator Read a science book.

[Gaaminator]

@atheistram Is that really your reply to my comment?

[atheistram]

@Gaaminator Yes it is, since you're clearly ignorant of the scientific method.

[Gaaminator]

@atheistram The scientific method and evolution have virtually nothing to do with each other. Since the scientific method states that in order for something to be proven as a fact it must be tested and observed. Which means since evolution happened millions of years ago it is impossible to test or observe it. Which means it is impossible to prove evolution by the very definition given by the scientific method. You are clearly ignorant of the scientific method.

[atheistram]

@Gaaminator Not so. Genetics proves Evolution. If you don't believe that this is true, I invite you to watch this video:

watch?v=JVRsWAjvQSg

[TimCubUAkbar]

@Gaaminator I have to admit, you've confused me a bit. Do you have faith in the scientific method? I'm sure you'll forgive me for quoting an oft pilfered source without exact reference, if only because I'm too lazy to look it up, but, again, there is the internet, so I'm sure that if you're really that curious, you can look it up yourself, but I'm just a lazy evolution-fellating atheist, so, here goes. Three words: "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." Even an insect can understand that.

[scorand]

@Gaaminator they have more to do with each other than your willing to admit..

[NichtDieseTone]

Hit 'em hard boyz!

[ngarbo00]

Booyah! creationists at a science fair! no wonder they're confused! lol. welcome to science BITCHES! enjoy your stay...even if its not for very long.

[AtheistChase]

What's the music at 1min and where can i get moar?

[AkoyTamad]

dprjones is on a warpath!

i'd hate to be discovery institute right now.

5 stars!

[Darklust413]

Other than the slight echo, I really don't mind your mic. It's not like you're playing music. All I care about is the words that come out of your mouth and if I can understand them.

[CB563]

Anybody else notice similarities between creationists, freepers, homophobes, and Fox News patrons?

[godos320]

your not alone my friend

[Discoverylnstitute]

So, sue me. It's just a friggin' video. Get over it you godless heathens. Have fun burning in hell.

[userjoe9066]

Oh my. Have fun in jail. FAIL!

[Discoverylnstitute]

"Oh my. Have fun in jail. FAIL!"

I will if they allow me to accompany the utmost revered scientist, prophet, and basketball player - Dr. Kent Hovind.

May I bask in his glowing wisdom forever. Amen.

[userjoe9066]

Your totally the best troll alive. Keep it coming the laughs are endless lol

[FSAthe1st]

"So, sue me."

No, not you, The Discovery Institute itself. You're just a troll using their name and we've no interest in you.

[Discoverylnstitute]

It's called poe.

[FSAthe1st]

Ah... It's difficult to tell these days, what with Creationists saying exactly the same things themselves and meaning it.

[soulhunger1]

Haha, "DiscoveryLnstitute". Nice one.

[markermage]

If it was "just a friggin' video", then there was no reason to lie to youtube to get it removed. Your filing of false DMCAs has shown that you didn't think it was "just a friggin' video".

Feels kinda nice to pretend that the satirist is the real thing sometimes. You get some practice without having to feel guilty about failing to get the other person to realize the truth.

[ModmanGlest]

I think that you would be the one burning in hell because you resort to censorship of knowledge (thus being detrimental to society, which is pure evil) instead of using information to counter science or whatever you're against. Your pseudoscience is less and less being accepted by the public because they are no longer as stupid as you are.

[InModiasWeTrust]

Mirroring!!

-Modias

[NotBlaine]

Shit just got real.

[Geodge]

Yeah, this looks like a hair-split whether this is a trademark or copyright issue. There is no such thing as "fair use" of a trademarked name-you can't make up sneaky look alike's that mislead a competitor's "customers" to come to your door instead.

Using a DMCA for trademark is a legal nitpick. But it's not in the same league at all as misusing DMCA to silence fair use criticism.

Totally support you mirroring these videos, dpr. But the lookalike channel can't cry victim on this one.

[ibspify]

The only claim i can see the the Discovery institute would have, is the use of their name and logo, supposedly endorsing a message, which they are not endorsing, I'm not saying they are right, as i do not have a background in copyright law, so i don't know. However, as a non-expert the use of their logo (if that is their logo) and name at the end or beginning of the message is the only grounds they have to stand on

[DonQuixotedeKaw]

LOL! Yes! I love it!

[oojamaflipper]

GOD ITS SO FUCKIN INFURIATING!! sorry for shouting.. but FUCK!!!!! ignorant, hypocritical, dishonest twisted fuckin bastardfaces the lot of them!

[thunderf00l]

Give us proof DI did that, dpr, don't lie. Everybody could do that..... proof or shut up dprshitface

[purplejugnut]

it doesn't matter if the discovery institute did it or if a person claiming to be authorized by the discovery institute did it. that person had to have an email address to file the take down notice. that means they can be tracked down. its not just against youtubes terms of service to file a false DMCA its also a federal crime. you see free speech and all.

[purplejugnut]

also are you a child? from your messages it seems you have a child's mentality. or is your metal development stunted like that of most creationist?

[soulhunger1]

"Give us proof DI did that, dpr, don't lie. Everybody could do that....."

watch?v=f8FK-QU3ILI

This is the URL that directly links to one of DiscoveryInstituteID's videos. The error message says: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Discovery Institute. "

All one needs to do is check their browser history if they have seen the videos, find the URL, and visit it.

[TurboNemesis]

i daresay owned.

[TheWindClaw]

These shitbags know no bounds... All creationist institutes are filled with the worst of human kind.

[koisoke]

I hate DMCA abuse, but I'm too giddy at the DI claiming ownership of those videos under penalty of perjury to care, muahahahhahah

[AcidRain64]

While I want to be opposed to the Institute, I'm reluctant because I feel like the parody videos made were not obviously parodies and might be argued impersonations that reflect negatively on the Institute and thereby affect their business (are they a business?). If not, then SUE AWAY!

[Kattarina98]

Reading comments while my first mirror (with a new fat intro to fool YouTube into allowing me to upload) is uploading - painfully slowly.

I second the other comments offering donations in case the satire channel decides to go all the way. Keeping my fingers crossed ...

[TheFlST]

Great job. Fuck creationists.

[riotguards]

the spineless ID retards they should be locked up in a dark prision for the rest of there lives they have no right to get rid of freedom of speach for there own personal gains what ever the gain is

my surport is with you

[Retartedflyinghippos]

My support is with you. Don't back down

[mattblackcat]

The did show up at the Dover trial - but the Judge said they were not allowed in via the back door and sent them away. :-)

[soulinite]

Fuck creationist censorship!

[bradreed]

grapefruits. good job

[nekedemus]

I am willing to donate money (not U.S. dollars but real money) and I am quite sure that I am not alone.

either the abuse has to stop, or YouTube must rewrite their Terms of use.

See you in court..

[Gorteenminogue]

Yes, I'll happily cough up a bit if it helps.

[DeletedDelusion]

DPRJones, I salute you bravery.

Thanks for what you are doing.

[DarthServo]

At least one of DonExodus2's videos has been hit by the Discovery Institute as well.

[leejw00t354]

Good luck dprjones you have my support :)

[HHRB0664]

Calling them spineless vermin is an insult to spineless vermin everywhere.

[AbbeyNormal]

Indeed- you'd never see a cockroach or a silverfish issue a false DMCA claim.

[conrad4ever]

I hope they do DMCA this video so drpjones can flex his legeal muscails

[Martyj2009]

rofl, cmon discovery institute. Try dmcaing DPRjones. Let's see how far you can get trying to do illegal actions against a lawyer.

[modeoc]

Ha! The Discovery Institute taking on a lawyer, a brilliant one at that, in court? Hopefully they'll have the common sense to not take legal action in a case they will most surely lose.

[johnycannuk]

So the DMCA was supposed to prevent copying and help keep things like this out of the public eye...yet had it not been for the false DMCA, I would never had heard of them and would not be supporting it.

Well done...

Fuck you Discovery Institute. Fuck you in the neck.

[Widgetas]

Good luck, sir! As if you need it...

[DesertLaser]

I hope dprjones takes Discovery Institute to court,....

[C0ldking]

Make them Apologice to the Internets.. idd love that

[Satak8]

I gotta say that dprjones got some serious balls :D Go get those bastards!

[MINGO4445]

I am in for spanking their ass.

[baronscarpia1]

What the!?

Dprjones, do you really watch Lucio Fulci films? (Because, if so, that's really rather great...)

And yes, the DI are indeed complete and utter vermin. In other news, the sun rose this morning, oxygen continued being indispensible for life and the Pope revealed he was Catholic...

[misslipstickvogue]

Yay, keep fighting them dprjones!

If god was on their side, he sure isn't in the courts for them...

[PFWoody488]

The funny thing is that in the Dover trial, the judge was actually a Reagan appointee.

The Creatards had the Judge of their dreams, and they still couldn't win.

This probably has something to do with the preoccupation that the legal system has with things like facts, logic, and evidence.

Never a strong point for the Creatard 'argument'.

Check out PBS NOVA for a documentary on this trial.

[goldgrif]

what do you expect from good god loving people, lies , lies and more lies

[modeoc]

true that

[rozeboosje]

No. If they file a DMCA and you file a counter notice they don't have the option to show up. They MUST sue you or face perjury charges. And this time let's not be magnanimous, shall we?

[InfidelAvenger]

dprjones, I wish you well in your fight. Keep us posted!

[Kattarina98]

I have subscribed to this satire channel. The videos were funny. Sadly to say, most users thought they were the real stuff (problably because they were so close to Dishonesty Institute's garbage). So they got abysmal ratings. :-(

[cyt0xan]

Kind of a non sequitur, but I was distracted from the content of the video by the hauntingly familiar music. What movie is that from? I got it! House by the Cemetery, Walter Rizzati/Lucio Fulci. Is dprjones a fan of Italian zombie movies? Maggot-infested corpses shambling about long after brain death... kind of reminds me of the DiscoTute.

[Ansonidak]

"much like you didn't turn up at the Kitzmiller vs Dover trial"

Ouch! That had to sting!

[DiscoveryInstituteID]

Thank You DPR! :)

[lovasip]

The name of the channell might constitute as impersonation as it might be misleading (for anyone with a considerable low IQ) that the channell is owned by the DI.

But

-it has nothing to do with the videos on the chanell

-I do not think it is under the DMCA much rather TOS

[forsbrookme]

damn i hope they take the bait,

[JesusSavesAtCitibank]

Fuck yeah!

[SwedishDreamer]

The Discovery Institute are all cowards =/

[newalbion]

This is becoming fun. Looking forward to the next episode. Can't wait to see DI with egg in their face.

[SeenAndNotSeen]

The Discovery Institute swore under penalty of perjury that they owned teh content of those videos.

Does this mean that from now on, we can refer to those videos as the actual work of the Discovery Institute?

[tammyscotland]

dprjones, you are just awesome. Keep up the fight. We can't let them win.

[jebus6kryst]

Bravo.

[Misterb0z]

DPRJones, you're a geezer.

[PlutoOneWayTicket]

/me clears throat, from an actual DI press release (discoveryDOTorg/a/7901):

SEATTLE -- Discovery Institute is sponsoring a student video and essay contest to commemorate Academic Freedom Day, February 12, 2009, on Charles Darwins bicentennial.

Darwin once wrote, A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question. That famous quote will be the touchstone for students to communicate support for academic freedom...

[PlutoOneWayTicket]

... to explore the evidence for and against Darwinian evolution.

The next generation values open dialogue in a way that is aptly expressed in their creativity and imagination, Discovery Institute Director of Communications Robert Crowther said. This is a fun way to honor that expression and encourage critical thinking on the issue.

The video and essay contest is open to high school and college students and will be judged based on creativity, accuracy, and persuasiveness.

[PlutoOneWayTicket]

... and they lost, teaching creationism is still illegal so they change teach ID to teach academic freedom

Its no surprise that the a. freedom and don`t silence one of two sides people are trying to silence one side.

Besides the broccoli the diid channel had a video video along the lines DI here we know these changing arguments can be confusing one more time: no more biblical creationism, or creationism, or creation science, or intelligent design, these days we say academic freedom

[Farksisten]

Damn, the ending was a big slam in the face! I laughed out loud for real! :D

Go Dpr-Jones!

[Rationalific]

Boy, it's great to have a lawyer on our team!

[melbn]

fuck court. try take an aussie to court LOL

[Nalsii]

Can't DiscoveryInstituteID or somebody simply make a counterclaim and sue them or something? I remember Tf00t making a sort of threat to VFX regarding this, if he wouldn't have apologized.

[Vogter2100]

I cant mirror the vidoes from DiscovveryinsituteID!

It gives me a violation of terms of use!

My next vid is abut that. Up in a minute and I wil put it as a response to this.

Warning: Im FUCKING angry in the video.

[JRChadwick]

You already have three strikes on your channel. If you are served with a DMCA notice will you even have the chance to file a counter notification?

[Onodera1980]

The Discovery Institute is so dumb, I thought they really did make that broccoli/gerbil video.

BAKA!

[deauvillimus]

I am in the process of uploading those five videos. The insanity of those horrible people has to be stopped.

[deauvillimus]

The videos are up on my channel as well. Wasn't as easy as I hoped it to be because the first attempts where refused by YOUTUBE for abuse of ToU. But dprjones told me to edit them which I did.

Let's fight that Discovery Institute crap!

[sweatytoothmadman]

Did DiscoveryInstituteID do that video about broccoli giving birth to a gerbil?

[freedom0f5peech]

Yes

[deauvillimus]

@freedom0f5peech & atomicnumber86

What does

"finch the problem is that you have to reencode the vids from freedomof5peech.."

and your

"Yes"

mean?

I don`t understand. Help me, please.

[methinxaweezil]

"Did DiscoveryInstituteID do that video about broccoli giving birth to a gerbil?"

Like George Bush said, the kids should hear both sides. The broccoli's side and the gerbil's side.

[LynxChan]

I'll watch and five-star all five videos. It's not much, but every little bit helps.

[thinkppl]

aah i can smell the win...

"discovery Institute apologizes to teh intenets"

[RacistWinker]

But hopefully the title will not be written by fucktards who can't spell.

[finchfrance]

The vids should go viral, many have already started mirroring them. If you go the vid by freedomof5peech you'll find links in the side notes as to how you can download them from a 3rd party site to upload on your channel.

watch?v=y3al94q5mWQ.

DPR, would it be possible to have the link in the side notes?

[atomicnumber86]

finch the problem is that you have to reencode the vids from freedomof5peech..

[dprjones]

DPR, would it be possible to have the link in the side notes? "

_____

Links to all download sites are in the videos as I post them.

I'll add them here too.

[ShaedeReshka]

Fantastic! The Discovery Institute needs to be thrown into court and revealed for what they are. You do a kind thing for America, sir.

[TheGreatPyro]

Someone better fucking sue them.

That's all their is to it, show their lying cheating way on a permanent court record. . .Hovind.

[r33fermadness]

Love the end of the video. I doubt they'd show up as well.

[Requiem4aGod]

Every time I wake up, something else has been DMCA'd. Damn dishonest creationists!

[GWR3440]

It's not just the creationists. Other groups are doing it to their opponents. Political extremists, anti-abortion and others because it's the only way they can respond to the voice of reason.

[mecher3k]

You the people you listed tend to be the same exact people, right? Sure I'm generalizing but it's true.

[GWR3440]

They're not always the same but the attitudes tend to go together. Eg I've never seen gun control advocates using DMCAs but but I have seen fanatical gun supporters doing it - which the average law-abiding gun owner probably would't even think of. Basically it's the fanatics who can't respond to reason, they aren't just religious fundamentalists.

[ehuus0000]

Dpr you sir have some stones.........Fantastic. :)

[RationalFuture]

Dprjones vs. the DI would be like Godzilla vs. Bambi, but more fun :)

[varucplm]

I really hope they are that stupid to DMCA you so that they get their asses handed to them in court AGAIN !

[HeadoftheHydra]

I hope they keep filing false DMCA's. Eventually someone is going to sue them, and then it's just one more example of how retarded they are on public record.

[atomicnumber86]

I have the mirros at my channel.. There is also links how to get the videos..

[Kattarina98]

Thanks - I just grabbed them and shall mirror them.

[Mnementh2230]

Wow - that's terrible. Anything I can do to help?

[sirkamon]

Go get em dprjones. ;)

[Vogter2100]

I will be uploading the 5 vidoes too and I will file a counternotice if they false DMCA me.

[TheLittleDonkey]

Fantastic, I will spread the word

[rockerwere]

Wow, that is fucking stupid.

Good work again DPR.

[abigor315]

FROST!
