  • I have no idea why he was suspended. I just know he got his account back in record time.

  • It would help if you were a little less condescending. I damn well know what "pretext" means. That doesn't change the fact that Youtube received a DMCA from the company that holds the rights to Carmina Burina, the music that Nick copied without permission, and that Youtube followed their standard operating procedure of suspending his account on receiving the DMCA. (He had violated copyright twice before.) And Youtube gave his account back as soon as he filed a counternotice.

  • Actually, Gisburne had posted a copy of the DMCA that was filed against him. He was indeed suspended for copyright infringement. Youtube was following its standard DMCA enforcement policy, unnecessarily draconian as that may be. I did some videos about this a long time ago.

  • The first account was definitely screwed by Viacom. But evidently, someone--and we don't know who--but someone snitched to Youtube that Mark had a new account (xenutv1). Youtube has stated that the snitch was not a Scientologist. At least, that is what Mark said in a video.

  • AnonOutreach, you are right--the timing is suspicious as hell. But if the truth ever comes out about who was behind the suspension, and if it turns out that Youtube is lying about it, then Youtube has a hell of a lot to lose. Don't forget--if Mark ever found out that Youtube was covering up for Scientologists then this would be a BIG story. Mark is an Emmy Award winning journalist--I'm sure he could get the story out.

  • This is the sort of thing that COULD bring Congressional attention to the way Youtube runs their business. I can't picture that the Scientologists are paying Youtube enough to run the risk of lying for them.

    I could be wrong. As you say, the timing is suspicious as hell. But until I see more evidence I will operate under the assumption that YT is telling the truth.

  • I don't know--I didn't subscribe to his other account, and I don't remember the name of that account.
