Fair use is absolutely a requirement for freedom, and because of technology we can't be stopped from having fair use. All kinds of stuff gets posted here inspite of DMCAs. It will just get better. They can't keep us down.
Well done, as usual, TMA. I have to say that I was dumbstruck by the news of Naomi's actions. Not only did she under mine her own arguments against Muslim fundamentalist that would trash things like FofS, she undermined the work that you(and many others) are doing in shit canning this unconstitutional law known as the DMCA. I would like to hear her explanation, as you stated, to see if there was any valid reason for her actions. For now I just don't know what to think.
i have watched a lot of your vids about dmca procedure and fair use and i say it is definitely your niche on youtube. always informative and well presented. and although ti can be a somewhat boring subject i think you present it in a way which makes it easy to listen to and follow.
I doubt she will be gone long. After her last channel, Naomi94, was suspended, she made a video about how she did not care that she was being suspended because she was tired of YouTube and would be leaving for good. 3 Days later she had a new account: NaomiKnight. Narcissistic drama queens like Naomi can not stand to be out of the spotlight.
Yeah, h8uall66, you're probably right; she won't be gone for long. I never knew about her when she operated the Naomi94 account, but after watching how she handled the inmendham and DMCA situations, she appears to be very self-centered.
voicesinthehead's account was suspended shortly before she closed her account. I'm GUESSING that Youtube suspended it because they categorized VOITH's videos where he and Naomi video'd Inmendham's house as stalking. Naomi participated in this event as well, so it's possible she felt her account was soon to be suspended.
If this is the case then she may have closed her account in order to pre-empt Youtube from suspending it. Either that, or she might have wanted a way out of having to answer my challenge.
But if I had to make a guess, I would guess that she closed her account to avoid suspension and not because she was running away from my challenge.
Remember on Vloggerheads I said that we should ask permission -- just to be polite -- because it seemed to me that VH was trying to avoid conflict. However, this is YouTube. It's still the wild west. Fair use is Fair use.
Thankyou for your support regarding free speech since the very beginning. I know we may disagree on some beliefs and views but lets not make that hinder us to work on a common goal
worst thing about this shit is that it will help promote a religious agenda. And in my oppinion the worst kind: islamism.
Anyone, like the amazingmuslim, who in the most subversive way tries to defend this child-molesting prophet muhammed is a islamist consisly or subconsisly.
Naomi did a very stupid thing. We dont need to give the islamists any reason to play victim yet again.
Islam needs to be criticised more these days. And this is a backlash. All thanks to naomi.
tma, I've been watching your videos for quite some time. I love what you do here on youtube. Keep up the great work. All four of these videos were great.
I think everything should be copyright free. Music, movies, books, anything that can be copied should be OK to copy and available for Fair Use as long as you don't attempt to sell it, or take credit on your own. Basically if you don't want something reproduced or used by another keep it locked up.
The problem with that is, once you make this material available for free, then few people will pay the author/creator. And if few people pay authors for their work, then few people will take the time to produce new works. Do you have any idea how much effort it takes to right a book? Why would anyone want to devote that type of effort if there was no chance for them to be paid for their efforts because someone has posted it online?
Doesn't matter. Information should be free. Even plagiarizing and selling the work of others does not constitute a violent act that would justify violence in return.
Who said anything about violence? I certainly didn't. And though information should be free, the way that information is expressed should not be. Facts can't be copyrighted, but the way they are expressed can be. And if you infringe on someone's copyright in such a manner that it will deprive them of making a profit off of their work, they do have a right to sue you.
You don't work for free, do you? If so, why do you expect others to give you their work for free?
Using the violence of the state in response to something that clearly isn't violent is what I was referring to. It's like if I gave you a gift and then pointed a gun at you when you tried to give it away or sell it. Who's the aggressor in that scenario? Once the art is given to the public it belongs to the public.
The thing is, these forms of media are already available free for download. I can go on any number of torrent sites and download any book I want right now, with very very little to fear from the legal forces that be. It's like the war on drugs, It's against the law but it fails to stop anyone from doing them.
How about inventions like pharmaceuticals? What you are proposing would grind creativity and inventiveness to a halt. Who the fuck would bother to promote ideas or concepts that could improve society as a whole if they get nothing for it? We'd still be in caves with your philosophy.
And what fraction of civilization relies on open source? The people in the movement had a *choice* to do with their work, as they please. Good for them too, BTW. But none of the members in open source make their living off of it, now do they? They can afford the luxury of their convictions because they make a living doing other things. Musicians and authors, as well as others, don't have that luxury.

By the way, did you counter dmca? You should.
Gimmeabreakman 2 years ago
Yeah Posted a counter and YouTube sent my details were sent, the video will be back up in around 7 days
Also, That one video expressed one side, its just one video out of around 5-6 which i did on this subject, It covers pretty much everything
