Support Coughlan666.

[TheRobbie0003]

I don't understand the underlying issues,and I don't really agree with Coughlan666, but I think censoring the man is absolutely the wrong thing to do.The internet should be a place to express opinions no matter how outrageous those ideas might be.Maybe I'm full of crap. But that's MY opinion.

[Silentsam7532]

Its too bad that coughlan is attacking Thunderf00t now. Thunderf00t is a great person who makes great videos. They are almost as good as Philhelenes.

I don't know why Coughlan would supporty Islam enough to attack another atheist.

[setmedic]

Have you looked into Haldol? Works wonders...

[krstcmjns]

Aw. He seems really disturbed by that. It makes me feel sorry for the man.

[theeternalagashan]

Coughlan is an idiot i messaged the internet tough guy i said '' lot of your problems could have been avoided had you not reacted like a complete knob''then i went to ask on the video called dick vs twat ''did he imply the christian was a twat and he was the dick and wanted to fuck him'' but coughlan who asks so tough blocked me what a FUCKING PUSSY,he probably jerks off crying to chistfag videos

[Chickenwing1313]

This is just sad. Even though I don't like this guy, he has the right to voice his opinion.

[ScrewAttackChina]

what has happened to coughlan616 now? why did he close his account

[olsonlj1]

@ScrewAttackChina don't worry, he's just taking a break. relationship drama...

Ghoudathulhu will hunt you down you S.O.B, fear the wrath, the Rats of the evil Lord Cheesestring will devour you!

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

was mr mm responsible for this ?

A big thumb UP for coughlan from France. Free thinking is still around and even with a single view of your video helps. See you around soon ! Cheers from France !

[abstract8moldova]

what drugs do u take ? can u send me some acid ? lol

[janebusby]

I'm disgusted at YouTube for this action.

I can't believe they let that narrow minded bigot Condell preach his hate on here, but ban intelligent thought from Coughlan.

[lasalle1alpha]

they called that PORN? Have they not seen the videos of Shane Dawson? He hasn't been flagged! (yeah, he got fired from work, but not the point)

And those VEVO music videos. Copyrighted crap with boobies and sex. Haven't been flagged.

What's goin on YouTube?

[LordZentei]

Just now, coughlan666's channel has been suspended for some reason. Does anyone know what happened?

[1000ytube]

Hey Richard, it was me

[CrazyAlucard666]

How do you mirror a video?

[douchelan666]

I bet Coughlan created this drama for attention.

[Primalxbeast]

I'm sorry, but this guy just really gives me the creeps. He gives me the impression that he's either taking drugs that he shouldn't be taking or not taking meds that he needs to be on.

[CamronJLB]

i know this is old, but how does one mirror a vid?

[dan020350]

i wonder was Socrates religious ?

he blocked you and yet you can still commet? seriously you are a prick

[Metaldude1945]

I don't understand what's going on, someone give me an explanation?

[RyanTheChristian]

Metaldude1945

That's the most profound post I've seen in a long time.

Personally, I think we're conciousness (or souls) inhabiting flesh, put there by the great creator from another realm. We're basically here to enjoy life (but not at cost to any one else's enjoyment of life) and if we're lucky, when we die, our consciousness returns to the father consciousness and the father uses our energy/consciousness/soul for another purpose.

But then, I'm an open-minded kind of guy.

[skinnywhop87]

its probably from your video you dedicated to shawn, he's notorious for this kind of shit

[IOnlySleepWifTheBest]

He looks like an AIDS patient.

[Xethavosh]

He knows. He's a comedian. That is in his routine.

[Melleina]

All this time i was fooled into believing that youtube was a sancutary for; ideas, true information and intellectuals. But all who speak against the common ideals is harrassed and humiliated on this site. Youtube has become everything that im fighting against; Dictatorship.

Is there anyone willing enough to make the rights in all these wrongs?

(post comments, im interested what you have to say, but know this, NO hate comment will be premissible).

[Zeppelinrules2]

this is fucking hilarious. Coughlan is perfectly happy to sensor anyone who disagrees with him. he can dish it out but he cant take it

[AmdanAbla99]

Coughlan himself censoring peoples comments to his videos and blocking people.Why he cries now?What goes around,comes around!

[Alienmad462]

lol he's crying over youtube subscription

[SecretTrollAccount1]

I am Elliot, I dont have 17 zillion subscribers because im not an attention whore. LOL SUCKS 2 B U.

[Christheatheist1]

No you aren't. Eliot Brown is in jail. Get a new line, fool

[xy11xy]

I dunno, ...If I had billions, I probably wouldn't give a shit either.

YouTube users harass and intimidate each other all the time; it's nasty, and mean.

Some people call that harassment "free speech".. and the victim must suck it up.

YouTube has the biggest stick of all: the power to delete accounts.

[oneiros666]

Hi!

I was of the opinion that the stars was there to rate how you felt about a video. Is this wrong? If I see a video that I like, such as almost every single video by TJ, I give it five stars. If I see a shitty video, I give it one star. How is this "weasely" ?

[oneiros666]

You fucking idiot.

I call Coughlan a douche because I hate his stupid, self-righteous videos and he always sounds like he's fucking crying.

If you knew just a tiny little bit about the huge fucking drama shit-storm behind all this, you would know that. But you don't, because you are just another fucking mindless fan; jumping out at anyone who doesn't agree with you.

Fuck off.

[oneiros666]

Hahahahaha!

I just saw one of your vids! Man oh man.

I love those serial killer glasses, dude. And the booming, baryton voice of yours really got me listening.

Yeah, since no one knows me; I guess it's slightly odd that "I am a well known whiner". Wouldn't you say?

Try again, fatboy.

[CamiellaC]

When will these religious freaks face reality?

[DeccaQuinne]

YouTube isn't worth looking that ill over...

[CrownedWithLaurels]

You are /so/ right.

[Dhesyca]

@melbn: So, the only things you ever care about are wars? Why do you bother wasting time commenting on YouTube when there are wars to stop, melbn? Get out there and WORK!

[kmatzukaze]

How does one mirror a video?

[swinewarrior]

it would never happen to a muzzie scumbag

but free speech is free speech

double bladed sward

I prefered his Crack up video...........he took

that down himself

This one is a bit whinney

[oneiros666]

Why. Why does Coughlan always sound like he is crying? Fucking douche.

DMCAs such donkey scrotum though. YT should not shut people's channels down just because of frivolous claims.

[MateiAlexandruBogdan]

I have to know ... Are you on meth?

[melbn]

while old rich squeals on the nets and wants to strangle people and label them scum of the earth, wars go on and humans try to kill humans but EVERYBODY wait! richard has something to say lol also his friends will spend a good quality of time helping him out! bcoz YT is the only format to express, forbid DICK attend an atheist meeting in his local area (for free) oh no son,

[Violetcrime]

Red herring. Ad hominem circumstantial. Logic fail.

If you truly cannot see why he sees this as a big deal... well I guess missing the big picture is a 'quantity' (lulz) believers often possess.

[saamohod]

May I ask, what is DMCA in the first place?

[Aturayd]

Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Basically, somebody files a claim that you have posted their copyrighted material and youtube is bound by law to remove the videos quickly. You can file a counterclaim, but that takes much more time.

[philhellenes]

Sounds like you have done a LOT. I'm sure Richard couldn't have asked for more. Now it's in the hands of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and It, as we know, always answers prayers. :)

[Christheatheist1]

Ramen

[CensorshipIsBad]

commented, mirrored, fav'd, digged.

[melbn]

drum roll,,,,,6 days and counting. tick tock tick tock

[HolySavant]

rated it five, i know one person can't make much difference but if everyone puts in a little it'll quickly turn into a lot. i'd mirror but i can't download on this laptop thanks to the stupid non-administrator rights so i'll be coming back if i can to make another copy and do my part. hope everything works out for Coughlan, i know how these things can sometimes be.

[rottenrobbie7]

@steelejk:

on behalf of both myself and PH's subscribers, thank you in advance for sparing us your bull**** on any future postings. This isn't just about Coughlan666, it's about censorship. If the freedom to speak freely is something you take for granted, then be sure to be at the very back of the line to complain should yours ever be taken from you.

[steelejk]

I don't take my right to speak freely for granted... I do, however, respect a privately owned website to run itself however it sees fit and to remove any of my comments/videos whenever they want using whatever metrics they deem fit.

You're like those idiots who complain about free speech in forums... oh wait.

[CynicalThought]

You've missed the point entirely. This isn't about youtube deleting videos because they can (which they do), it's about every little shit flagging his videos because they're afraid that other people might understand that their stupid little creationist theory is wrong.

[steelejk]

Looks like you've missed the point. YouTube has created a flagging system on THEIR website. If you don't like, well, you know what you can do.

[CynicalThought]

I said that below but also commented that that is not why this video was made. This is an cry out to human stupidity. Youtube basically just doesn't want any problems on it's hands (lawsuits or worse) so it goes and says, I don't want any more trouble, you' re banned, and that little piece of shit that flagged the video or complained about privacy or religious beliefs will be rotting in their own happy little douchy way. Honestly these are the kind of people I hate.

[mrgrazzt]

Agreed.

Religious cunts can go suck God's non-existant cock.

If religion were real, they wouldn't have to defend it. They could just let it sit there on its truth, and anyone who insulted it would look like an idiot. But that's not true. They have to defend it because they know they've got no solid proof.

[steelejk]

wow, you support this wank? Unsubbed.

[randomsonnet]

I don't have much of an account here, but for what it's worth I've mirrored it. At least it might help show youtube how seriously we all take this.

[DarkMatter2525]

I just put up my mirror. I never wanted to put mirrors on my channel, but if a channel like Coughlan's, with nearly 18,000 subs, can be deleted because of a simple troll, then what's the point of making videos and having subs in the first place?

[philhellenes]

That's pretty much my thinking. Nobody wants to have to do mirroring, but it stops you feeling that awful "why didn't I do anything?" feeling and replaces it with the "at least I tried" feeling. The one is MUCH better than the other.

Thanks for trying. :)

[shkotay]

@philhellenes Any idea how we do mirrors by the way? I want to make sure I do my part if this happens again.

[KingHeathen]

Just curious, someone correct me if I'm wrong...

I know at least two of those videos had clips from other videos from around the Internet. Did the others as well?

I'm sure the idiot that flagged him isn't the copyright owner of all of those clips and so it is a false DMCA, no doubt. I'm also sure that by legal standards, they all fell into the "fair use" category. So before anyone replies with any of that...I am aware.

Just asking.

[AWaters86]

Yo Dick you have my support 100%, id mirror if i was more tech knowlagable , but ill vote for and do whatever i can to help

[spin164]

This is bullshit! I'll follow 666 wherever he goes.

[Cold1Forged]

God, we have to go through this every damn week.

I often say that it's YouTube and that they can do what they want, but seriously, this isn't what YouTube wants, this is what the scumbags want.

I think YouTube is doing the bending over here.

[terminaldeity]

The handling of DMCAs is completely backwards. They should have to prove that the video is in violation of the DMCA in order to take it down. This "guilty until proven innocent" policy is bullshit.

[TekkaSage]

I'd like to see this bullshit end like the DMCA that VFX did against Thunderf00t.

[MartinJWillett]

Subscribe to him if you haven't already. That is still possible. That is the way to fight these scum - see him come through a week later with another couple of thousand subscribers.

[Clairvoyant23]

Wtf? This is bullshit. Make your ownsite or see if you can get in with FreespeechVids.

[PainAddict666]

I feel his pain although I don't post videos.

This is infuriating for all of us.

I'm not even a previous Coughlan666 subscriber but I'm sure to be one on his next channel.

That's how we fight this, with support.

Nice mirror philhellenes.

[ZomBStrawberry]

unfair....

[sounduser]

DMCA???? im so confused

[S201676]

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

[Onithyr]

I don't see why it's legal to post a DMCA without proof of identification.

[Iwannabubbletube]

It's not - in fact it's perjury if you can't prove it. Fucking perjury! That's 7 years guys.

[Onithyr]

"it's not - in fact it's perjury if you can't prove it."

No, I'm talking about the filing of the complaint itself. To file the DMCA should require a proof of identity *before* the complaint is to be considered. Right now anyone can file a DMCA from behind a proxy with a fake name and Youtube (as well as anyone else who receives one) is legally required to take it seriously regardless of how obvious it is that the claim holds no merit.

[randomlife41]

Not a big fan of this guy but his YT channel is a source of income for him !

[ineffige]

serious business.

[VitalSigns1]

Why did you cut your hair?

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

"Why can't YouTube take legal action against those using them to break the law?"

It's not that they can't, it's that they won't, for the same reason you won't: it cost money.

[healthyaddict]

That's bullshit.

[quardt10]

The internet is serious buisness lol...

[AlRasuwl]

Coughlan666 banned me from his channel for pointing out that I disagreed with something he said.

I used another profile to ask why he had banned me, and he banned that one too.

It seems he likes to censor people who say things he disagrees with, but doesn't like being censored by people who disagree with him. How ironic.

Still, false DMCA claims are a shit and so I'll mirror it, even though he will not allow me to comment on his videos.

[atheer2002]

AIR...

i salute ur stance and forgiveness...

[AlRasuwl]

It's not that I have forgiven him, more that it's not really important :-)

[Zeldarulah]

I can't stand coughlan either, but still.

[AlRasuwl]

He's a bit of a dick but I sometimes enjoy his videos, it would be much easier to follow him if he hadn't blocked me.

[gothatfunk]

i like what you wrote in the description.

i've just 5 starred 22 mirrors, and its just the beginning. i hope it makes a difference.

[Elasaltaculos]

I don't care about Coughlan, but it is a disgrace that they are silencing his voice.

[Musabre]

Could anyone tell me in lay-mans terms how to quickly mirror said video? never done it before.

cheers anyone who replies.

M

[JBSauce]

1. Go to savevid(.)com

2. Enter the video's URL

3. After a short time, click on the "download HD" link; it should be an .mp4 file. Rename it to something other than "video.mp4"

4. Upload that video to YouTube.

[zgbrotherhood]

Not so sure why he is freaking out. But I will try and support him. Its youtube.

[JBSauce]

This is the same guy who posted a vid of himself crying after he got picked on by TheAmazingAtheist. Not that I'm going to bully the Dick here, but he just wears his emotions on his sleeve.

[NoodlesTux]

It's a source of income for him, as he advertises his stand-up stuff here. He also (IIRC) gains some revenue from advertising or something similar.

So it is understandably important for him.

[lodevijk]

Holy crap.

[prowled]

and guess what, that makes you an idiot...

[gotohellfast]

Free speech is worth defending , so he has my support,even when I gives me the creeps.

[myjizzureye]

Well firstly i think old mate maybe invested a bit to much in this.

[chrisbigred1]

Man, he sounds like a junkie who can't get his fix. Some people are a bit 2 addicted maybe?

[NaranjaPera]

Again? I usually just sigh at these things and gets on with it, people seem to come back. But what does that say about your side when the only way you can deal with opposition is to silence people? I don't follow that many creationist-.channels but I've never heard of any of them being votebotted or gotten DMCA'd like coughlan and Nyktyne, but I hope no atheists has ever tried to go down that road, because doing so just proves that you don't have anything of value to say and therefor have to...

[mGoLos]

Sorry Coughlan, hope it works out.

[TheMysteriousCorner]

YouTube is probably like any other larger corporation. Most issues like this are handled by people that are three times removed from the company itself. Most likely outsourced contractors that have absolutely no care in the world for the "customers" unless they're investors or corporations themselves.

Most likely all support of any kind is passed on to an outside company that hires people of its own to deal with it. The company literally does not care. Its a perpetual, automated behemoth now.

[Ikaroos]

Totally unjust and Coughlan has the right to be this angry about it... Popular channels are like kids, you put in huge amounts of effort and watch them grow. And to have it ripped away from you like this must be awful. :( Hope this mess can be sorted out.

[melbn]

fuckn tutorials ,sigh,

[eggeregged]

Fuck "Paul Kent"

Coughlan has my full support.

I'll mail "You"tube if I have to.

[TAz69x]

Start a new channel, download the videos you're SURE are safe, then reupload and MIRROR the info about your new account and to subscribe to your new account under your new username.

As long as you have an established base, you'd be surprised how quickly you'll gain your fanbase back again.

I'll sub back in an instant.

[eicebleu]

How DO you mirror stuff? I've been wondering that.

[prowled]

usually a link at the page of which this movie was originally aired. you download it and then you upload it to your account. :3

[philhellenes]

If you use Firefox you need download helper. Search YouTube for tutorials on how to download and upload YouTube vids. When you have the (free) software you need it's easy. Too me twenty minutes to download, convert and re-upload from start to finish. It's a useful skill. :)

[eicebleu]

Thank you!

[Mythosician06]

I have to say, I lost interest when Coughlan uttered a threat to the guy who is alleged to be the one filing the false DMCA. I don't think anyone deserves to be silenced, but clearly someone is reacting in a way that is not civil (does "I'll fucking strangle you" come across as civil discourse? Yeah...). Plus I think Coughlan holds too high a credence in his Youtube presence, but I know it's due to personal reasons.

[philhellenes]

You don't think that might be justified impotent rage talking? Seemed obvious to me.

[Mythosician06]

It certainly isn't cool that he's being silenced, but face it, this is a website (with lots of traffic, and thus, opportunities for a large audience); you can go anywhere else and still have an audience. Youtube doesn't give a damn, so why should you? Mind you I think it's just to speak out against people that file false DMCAs, but Coughlan uttering a threat is just sinking to a low level, probably exactly what the perpetrators wanted to happen. Threatening others is against the rules, anyway.

[eksyte]

Fuck the dishonest cunts.

[jakluk4]

support!

[happyjesus123]

Just sort of weird question. But, why don't things like this happen to Fred? It would seem that certain folks on this website get special protection. There must be lots of fraudulent complaints against guys like Fred but they never get their videos taken down. On a practical note can you put your videos up on another site? I think they are important enough to preserve.

[rarrmonkey]

i had an idea, you can't dmca a channel with no videos, i know its not perfect but someone could have a channel where they favour videos from where ever so people can sub to see favoured vids from there.

[melbn]

sorry rich, looks like ya gonna have to pick up the pieces with a new channel mate

[melbn]

its about money, money for YT and the Vloggers, thats why vloggers cry so loud

[SLAPPAYURFACE]

Well the dominant trait I've discovered about people who ARE subscribed to you, is that they like to praise you above Mount Olympos, and in doing so they hush anyone who has a problem with you. You might recall fakesagan, as one. It's the same thing with Shanedawson. He got his subscribers to get YTwatchdog suspended for making one critical video.

I say the people who don't call off unjust attacks on anyone, is worse than some kid flagging videos.

[Ch35h1r3C47]

he should make a vlog pleading to youtube like he did to TAA lol well TJ left him alone

It's true, Christians are evil conniving bastards. We need to keep up the good fight for REAL truth an honesty! What we have going on here is a reversion to the dark ages.

PURE EVIL!

I recommend a mail-in campaign. That way they know that the people complaining are real and willing to take the time (and postage) to make contact.

This is what happens when you think morals come from God. As long as their actions further the causes of their God, then anything is acceptable. Now lets talk about who's more morally superior.

If you can't beat 'em, censor them. That's how religion works.

[MolokoPlus1980]

Not as much as your mother does.

[SLAPPAYURFACE]

Am I delusional, or does anyone else see the hypocrisy of a simple statement being immediately censored by fanboys rallying against censorship?

Coughlan might make good videos, I honestly haven't given him much of a chance, but his subscribers' actions always end up giving me bad vibes.

[prowled]

honestly man you picked a hell of a moment to act as if what you mentioned is beyond scrutiny. hypocracy is when you file fals DMCA claims back, and then sit back and complain about everyone else. your comment was unwarranted for the situation.

your comment was judged by the setting of which you chose to post it. nothing hypocritical about that. you SHOULD recognize that this does not validate any scrutiny from your part.

just a thought... concider it...

[lackin124]

Not really censorship, the thumb up and thumb down gives people a chance to agree or disagree with you, people disagreed with you and so it shows as a lowly rated comment, you can still click "Show" to see it, unlike videos that have been falsely DMCA'd which you cannot see unless they're uploaded elsewhere.

[12tod]

this is just terrible - cowards, thats all i can say.
