  • I love these guys, but I have to admit (in order) I absolutely fucking LOVE Potholer54 and AronRa

  • I love the bird on Aron Ra's shoulder!

  • I never knew AronRa was a pirate.

  • I support. These disturbing acts of suppression of free of speech, through underhanded means, must be looked into by the powers that be. Go Potholer54!!!

  • Can we just admit that the DMCA was a bad idea altogether? Why not do something SOCIALLY beneficial and oppose regulation of the internet?

  • fuck those cunts that abuse the DMCA

  • thumbs up for the outraged little birdie :)

  • @June28July How do you know? They will not tell you when they do so. Also you have zero uploads, so what would you like them to censor? They can censor the comment you just made if 6 people thumb it down, but they won't inform you about this.

  • 149 people have filed a DMCA claim on this video. +1 on this vid

  • O.K I am going to come right out and say that even thought their are video and tutorials on how to do stuff on here. They are still some that confuse me. Now what I am about to say may puzzle you, so her it goes. I may lack the correct internet/computer terminology for what I am trying to find out and accomplish. Knowledge is power but is not very good if I try to transmit an idea or question without the proper words. So I'll get to the point----( great 500 word limit : 3 )

  • That's right.

    Look what those evolution-disciples have done to users like:

    sablechicken

    NephilimFree

    GeerUp

  • @pebi86

    >NephilimFree

  • You could get anonymous on your side, they're fighting scientology because of their wanted internet censorship.

  • This is brilliant! I have put this in both my facebook profile and my group. I hope as many people see this as possible!

  • i think you have misunderstood the meaning of free speech. you can say whatever you want, except if you say something on witch offends the opposing party. (All the trolls should know this).

  • Shared with my facebook account

  • Censorship sux!

    (Also, checking if i can post comments now, because it somehow doesn't work anymore as of late.)

  • @TheMasquedDeath im not saying those groups were excluded but the cause will have more legitimacy and possibly improved semantics if typically oppressed groups join in.

  • I believe it was 1995 or 1996 that I first saw issue relating to censorship on the internet. This has been going on a long time.

  • The youtube user Coughlan666 has been subjected to false DMC claims. You probably already know, because he has such a large amount of subscribers. I personally Don't like his videos (I think he's too offensive, and he takes the same positions I would on many issues.) but his freedom of speech is being taken away (as is livelyhood, as he is a youtube partner.)

  • it would be nice if your group of fighters of fraudulent-DMCA notices included some non-male non-white non-english people. is your demographic the only one concerned with freedom of speech? are there other priorities for most of the world?

  • yo, check out ZOMGitscriss, she's not only a clear voice of reason against stupidity everywhere, she's a female from Romania (still white I guess, but 2 out of three aint' bad .)

  • thanks

  • The "people" that file these DMCAs are a bunch of fraudulent cowards.

    Their pattern so censorship is written all over them. Their videos have comment approvals, ratings are disables, and you can't vote up and down.

    Some of them, eg venomfangx, quickly block you upon any form of resistance.

    What they have to hide, is the truth!

  • Clearly those people who abused the DMCA had underestimated the power of internet unity!

  • I believe that Edwarcurrent has also been attacked by these false filings by the same individuals. He may not use the the same tactics as all the users mentioned in this video but I think he is just as effective in achieving the same goals. If you have not seen him then you should, he is entertaining as well as eye opening as to just how crazy some of the beliefs of religions are.

  • "We are concerned that there are some people who are attempting to prohibit free speech on the internet. " - Now I'm assuming these people are religion followers who don't wish for anyone to speak against their own views. So much for love and tolerance as their religion supposedly calls for, huh!

  • Now this explains why I had a comment removed from a neocon site(not any of yours). I wasn't rude nor did I use profane language. Amazing , six votes and your out ! I could understand if I had been vulger but nothing of the sort , just a cogent arguement. Thanks for the info. Great stuff you provide.

  • Hi, I thought I would try, I saved the mp4, added 60 seconds of my observations, encoded, converted then uploaded to my channel, before you could blink I had a new button.

    Whoohoo! you may think, Nah-ahh! I pay for Fox News, if anything I own THEM, so why do I get a 'Copyright Info' button.

    .. Your video, Box Muse Shenanigans , may include audiovisual content that is owned or licensed by FOX News Network.

  • youtube deletes videos because they don't wanna get involved in legal litigation ..which means money lost

  • Amen Bruddah

  • I'm sorry potholer54, I love your videos, but youtube has always been pro censorship and you are supporting that by using and promoting youtube as your platform. If six people thumb down my comment you will see what I mean. The very thing you are fighting has been happening for as long as youtube has been in existance and yet people like yourself still decided to publish your material to youtube as apposed to another service that was pro free speech and actually treated their users with respect.

  • Because of youtube's practices, I wish I didn't have to come to here to listen to people like yourself and James Randi. Unfortunately to people like yourself and the others involved in this alliance, as sad as it is, subscriber numbers is the primary focus. :(

  • So it's all about the ratings... is that all it's ever about?

    Is there no message? Is this all really just a scam to get me whipped up so I can be taken again?

  • I'm just saying, if these publishers cared more about free speech than they did about subscriber numbers, then they would have moved to a better service a VERY long time ago. Youtube only has the power to censor us because we give them that power.

  • @Gerrrry

    YT is pro-censorship? I've never been censored by YT.

  • My video Darwin v Adam & Eve has been removed. What do I do now?

  • I just checked, and it's still there. Sometimes this is just due to a temporary YouTube glitch.

  • there is nothing i can do . but support this video. i hope thats enoth.

  • I love the parrot! LOL!

  • TheSEilvaBullet has been suspended for anti-Zionist material.

  • Do a google search and visit venomfangx site and give him a vote for atheism.

    We are 29%

    Also find the UN Anti-blasphemy law - Lou Dobbs

  • Keep up the good work

  • Guess what dude, they're not honest, and god doesn't exist.

  • No one thinks that they don't truly believe the nonsense that they spew. This doesn't make them dishonest. But it doesn't make their positions accurately portrayed as truthful.

  • word

  • Creationists are ignorant monkeys. They're trying to establish another era of inquisition.

  • Contact change . gov today & cite your issues!

    I believe that Obama is the ONLY one (going forward) capable making any significant difference here!

    Good luck,

    South Africa

  • I'm not surprised that creationists use these tactics to silence their critics; it's in their nature to be intolerant.

    I'm really disappointed with youtube, though. I always thought that everyone charged ith something had a right to argue their case before being judged, and was innocent till proved guilty.

    With youtube, however, it's the other way round. They judge you and shut you up simply on the basis of an allegation, and you have to argue to overturn it.

    That's wrong, and a disgrace.

  • I and everyone I know are with you all the way.

  • Oustanding, great that you are doing this.

  • Watch out! The Rev. Pat Robertson will prophecy God will send a meteor crasing down on your house and destroy you. So far Disney World has been waiting bated breath for years for celebrating Gay Day. Or the Evangelist Benny Hinn will destroy the gays with fire from Heaven and Jesus will appear with him on stage to prove what Benny says is the Almighty speaking inside his little head.

    We must stand together. Ignorance is not bliss but piss!

  • I'm with you.

  • Totally agree, what can I do to help?

  • hahaha the parrot was great

  • Geez,louise (ned flanders) Can you guys do a series on politicians. Brilliant stuff

  • this is great, I love all your chanels, and I fully support what you guys stand for. Free speech and Ideas are what make progress, and you guys are just that.

  • I got excited at your part Potholer. You are amazing . . not that the other guys are crap . . . I guess I just miss your videos . . . you were my first and still my favorite subscription.

    My channel shall always be a place of free speech, in fact, if you watch my videos, I end most of them with the line "dissent is not only allowed, but encouraged" . . . and I mean it.

  • You've got my support.  I'll share this with others.

  • How do we contact YT? I can never find any place to email them.

  • to protest false DMCA it seems one has to mail (postal) the copyright claims folks directly... it's on the very helpful "help" page, stapled to the feedback/warrantee offer on the back of your profile. (took way too long to find it, it's buried)

  • This is wrong, we can't let them take away are freedom of speech. I'll try my best to help.

  • Is there any way to bring criminal charges against these people? This is clearly abuse of the law and likely there could well be proceedings that could be brought.

  • "Is there any way to bring criminal charges against these people? This is clearly abuse of the law and likely there could well be proceedings that could be brought."

    As far as I'm aware, filing a false DMCA is considered perjury.

  • i dont make videos but i support you guys. il rate, comment and favorite without fail, il help get ur videos noticed and il b the audience. great work guys keep it up

  • Thats right!

    Good luck for ya guys.

  • I learn so much from you guys... Thanks for keeping a language guy informed about evolutionary biology :)

  • you guys are like the justice league for science

  • OK, I think i've come across irrefutable proof that YouTube needs to change the Copyright system on this site.

    "Mohammed Pabel Miah" is the most recent now infamous abuser of the system, by taking down YouTube's most popular videos by issuing bogus copyright claims.

    He does not seem to have any particular agenda, other than making everyone mad enough to scream bloody murder, HE'S JUST DOING THIS BECAUSE HE CAN.

    Such rampant misuse of the DMCA must be taken into account.

  • Go man go!!

  • This is why youtube exists. we need to protect free speech and what it stands for. Rate, comment, favourite and surscribe to all of these people. They protect you!

  • A worthy cause.

  • One of the real problems with dealing with such groups, is that they have absolutely no regard for law, indeed they often are extremely ignorant the things most people take for granted.

    They have been abused as kids into a way of thinking which only permits one concept,

    anything which challenges it cannot be thought.

    They then do this to their own kids.

    it is like a virus, a set of ideas which replicates and excludes others completely.

    We should be appalled.

    These people need mental health care.

  • Let freedom ring!

  • 5'd & faved. Thanks to all

  • fight censorship, support rationality. that is all.

  • You are on the same side of the same war that Anonymous is fighting against Scientology... Simply a different battle.

    However, they are battles that have crossed paths. Scientology is a major abuser of DMCA on YouTube.

  • Please, don't compare these guys to Anonymous.

    While I have no love for scientology, Anonymous is just a bunch of kids that don't shy away from illegal methods, basically using the fight against scientology as an excuse for their attention-whoring, trying to take the credit for the works of legit opponents of Scientology like Operation Clambake.

    All potholer54 and the others are doing is laying down the scientific facts.

  • "Anonymous is just a bunch of kids that don't shy away from illegal methods"

    What you *meant* to say was that *some* Anons are kids, and *some* Anons use illegal methods (a minority in my experience).

    Unless, of course, you happen to know all Anons? All I am doing here is laying down some scientific facts.

  • Surely this new alliance will consume us all!!

  • Adding my support!

  • I bet most of us can benefit in some way if we controlled what could be censored. I however cannot justify censoring anything (and I don't particularly like gore pics or shock sites).

    In terms of freedom of expression, the only censorship I support are cases where absence causes harm (ie yelling fire or bomb threats in a crowded place). Otherwise, and especially on matters of opinion or discourse, it is useless.

  • It's excellent to finally see a visible collaborative effort between these video authors. Wonderful!

  • GOOD JOB

  • stand up and fight!

    i will post this video on our anti religious facebook group - over 2000 members. we are with you!

  • Support Free Speech

  • lol

    For the last hour or so I've been jumping from one "DMCA" video to another, rating and commenting...

    I wonder how many of these have been uploaded already? (I'll upload my copy soon, download is in 82%)

    Make some noise people!

    Wake up YouTube!

  • FREE SPEECH!

    I am with this movement 100%.

  • Keep it up guys.

  • People only support censorship if it serves them,.. it shows what kind of people they are.

  • People have no idea how important free speech is. It's something everyone takes for granted, unfortunately. :(

  • Keep up the good work, people. Free speech is in critical condition these days. Censorship is a staple for weak minds.

  • Great job guys!

    Fight on!!

  • thanks

  • Not to add to you plate that is already full.

    But I think a book, liken to "the four horsemen" is in order.

  • Thanks for your videos.Love them,Mate !

  • so i rated and fav'd... but how do you 'feature' like they say?

  • I'm just a tiny foot soldier in this matters, but I totally AGREE and will heed to the CALL TO BATTLE any way I can!!!

    PUSH BACK SUPRESSORS! KEEP SPEECH FREE!

  • You've my full support.

  • Long live free speech.

  • LOL @ AronRa

    Free speech for parrots!!!

    :)

  • Long live free speech.

    All worthwhile ideas will defend themselves without the need of censorship, because the truth is bound to come out by the natural selection of ideas.

    If evolution is false and untrue, wouldn't you creationist want people to discuss it as much as possible, because the more there is discussion the sooner the truth will come out?

    So stand up for your beliefs, and support free speech!

  • bemp

  • Go guys, I hope you manage to make free speech flourish again.

  • Marmelade!

  • This DMCA business is ridiculous, why can't people just accept that others have a right to say the things they say?

  • I can't believe this..damn commies!

    Youtube wake up dammit!

  • This was a great idea. Some of the greatest minds on YouTube are now working together to protect free speech. Extraordinary!

  • you have my support guys.

  • Count me in.

  • My support, main comment on cdk007's upload if you care to read =P

  • Cool, is that the first time we hear cdk007's voice? Anyway, nice video.

  • Fight the good fight!

  • That's why I don't listen to them. When I come here, I hope to avoid something idiotic like a squawking parrot.

  • The parrot was way too annoying. Had to give it only 3 stars even though I agree with the video message.

  • HAHHA, I liked the parrot LOL :)

    We don't like to censor parrots, they ARE annoying, but most people just laugh at them!

  • As an Aussie, I am ashamed that many of the prominent creationist proponents seem to sprout from here. I think it had something to do with political bent here at the time. Oddly enough we don't have laws like DMCA here yet. I hope that day never comes. I don't see how they can continue to be filed with case law showing there continual defeat.

    At the risk of getting this page banned... VenomfangX (forgiving christian name isn't it)

    get stuffed.

  • Done and done. I love each and every God damn one of you brilliant motherfuckers!

    A million voices is a hard thing to keep silent.

    Peace.

  • good video

  • I don't see what YouTube can do on the topic. They are legally bound to honor even fraudulent DMCAs and let the courts sort it out, and on the topic of censoring through voting, to be honest, that's the fault of the one who put up the video. If you don't want it, disable it. IMO there is no point to it, anyways, it's just an expression of swarm mentality, not a real measure for anything interesting.

  • youre lucky i hate shady people who stomp on other people's rights as a tactic to stick their fingers in their ears and go "lalalalalalallaalallaal"

  • this is becoming a big deal. i sure would find it a big deal, if people were suspending me and trying to censoring me, so good job guys. Its one of those things. in matters of free speech, you are always right.

  • 5 stars, favored and featured.

    Brilliant collaborative video!

    We are here to back you PotHoler and their are loads of us. Come on creationists how about taking the rest of us on. You know you want to!!

    Ha Ha Ha. Creationist? more like shoot yourself's in the foot repeatly brigade.

  • i posted this on myspace and on facebook and also featured on my channel.

  • Aronra looks like a pirate.

  • It's the parrot. Without it, he looks like the Mexican from Desperado.

  • An alliance is exactly what need s to be done.  Get all who agree with this alliance up in arms and create an amendment to YouTube's Free Speech. The false DMCA claims must be stopped. Just remember this:

    We have to take the high road! Keep criticism clean and tasteful to fight back. The more clear one is, the easier it is to understand.

  • ZOMG I support this message!

  • keep up the good work guys.

  • Free Speech 4ever.

    ...Have you guys heard about what the Australian government plans to do?

  • Please tell.

  • No...

  • Can you give us some specific ways in which we can help all of you fight DMCA abuse?

    Are there individuals at YouTube who can be contacted directly by us the loyal viewers?

  • If you want to contact YouTube then go to the help link at the top right. I think at the bottom of the next page is a contact link.

  • maybe it'd be easyer to start mirroring those videos everyware and making a web of links?

  • good work

  • You guys are internet heroes. At least, MY heroes. Probably not for those you stand against.

  • excellent

  • Great video - Youtube needs to look into the abuse of DMCA and protect free speech.

  • True free speech does not have limits. Freedom of speech also means you have the right to be offended and whine(I'm looking at you god-believers!)

  • Is the NTSC version of the dvd ready yet? Just kidding :)

    I have the video on my channel as well. Thanks for making this stand.

  • Five-starred, favourited and shared. Well, it was the CDK007 copy I shared, because I happened to watch it first, but I've five-starred and favourited the others that I came across.

    You guys rock.

  • Wow! Great video!

    Well done and thank you - you have my support for one!

  • not just creationists doing that , but also groups like scientologists , zionists and bad corparations that what to hide thier wrong doings

  • You have my support!

  • I will gladly support this.

  • Fight for science and for free speech.

  • 309 Ratings and 201 views? hmm...

  • The views don't refresh as frequently as the ratings.

  • Oh, my god, we got caught!

    Yes, this is a conspiracy, and we got YouTube in our pocket.

  • I'm glad to hear you're doing something about it. :)

  • Support free speech.

    5*, Favorite and most importantly SHARE!

  • I'm not rich, but if you need monetary donations to help any legal action, please add me to your list of donors.

  • Potholer54 rules!

    Great to be with you on this one Potholer!!

  • Great work! I'm behind you 100%

  • rate comment share and favorite

  • 5 stars

  • power to you man!

  • BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

    There are two sides here. It is undeniable which side is free and fair, and which is conniving, manipulative, often lying, and seeks not truth, but an especially stupifying sort of demagoguery.

    It's nice when it's SO EASY to know you're on the right side!

  • Great video guys, I hope that You tube takes notice.

  • 5*d and Faved, like the others.

    An alliance of the great Reason Defenders on YouTube (PotH54,ExDodo,TFoot,AronRa,et­al) has always been wanted, but for Documentaries and Education.

    However the cause of Free Speech has risen these channels to the level of Champions.

    Whatever the collective subscribers can do to help, you all have our FULL support.

    Take it to them.

  • I support the cause.

  • We will not fail.

  • OMG CDK007 talked!!!!

  • Lol! I'm also surprised to finally hear his voice!

  • like I said ob thunderfoot video. Thanks for the post and all who participated. Very important message.

  • I don't hate Christians, but I never met one that was not a 100% hypocrite. Faved and rated. thank you!

    Remember! Eternal suffering awaits those who do not accept God's infinite love <---haha lol

  • False DCMA's 4 the FAIL!

    Five Stars!

  • 5 stars, I have upped this to my channel in support, Free Speech Is Worth Defending.
