We all share an interest in science and we have respect for the advancements and benefits that science has brought us. The internet is one example of this.

We believe that the internet offers extraordinary and valuable opportunities for education, and through sites such as YouTube, a forum for open discussion and exchange of views. In order for people to fully benefit from the internet, freedom of speech, freedom of expression and a lack of censorship are essential.
We are concerned that there are some people who are attempting to prohibit free speech on the internet. They are doing so by the unwarranted service of notices under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, ("DMCA").

We recognize that Copyright is an important legal right. The DMCA provides a method for copyright owners to protect their work against plagiarism and exploitation.

However, we are also aware that some people are misusing the DMCA. They are issuing notices that are not a legitimate attempt to protect their copyright, but are a cynical way of attempting to prevent adverse comment on, and criticism of, their views. They are using it maliciously, wrongly and probably illegally. We consider such actions to be abhorrent. It is a sick and cowardly way of attempting to restrict free speech and limit the potential of the internet for education.

Some of us have been subjected to such notices.

We are sure that our own experiences are not the only occasions when the DMCA has been misused.

We would like to know how often it is happening? Who else has been served with DMCA notices? Who served these notices? What happened as a result?

We would like to hear from you by contacting us at the channel DMCAabuse (not this one) if you have been served with a DMCA notice that you consider was issued in order to prohibit free expression rather than to protect copyright. (Any information you send us will be treated with confidentiality and will not be disclosed without your prior permission.)

We believe that opportunity for education, freedom of expression and freedom of speech are causes worth protecting. We want to do what we can to protect them.

Please help us do that.

Thank you.

  • I need a love button for this video.

  • I filed a counter-claim, telling YouTube that my videos in my old account (jason2anime) were fair use protected. But, YouTube says that I don't have the rights to keep my videos and favor companies like Toei and Viacom over users like me and thus my account is still terminated. They see Fair Use and Disclaimers as liabilties and every single user is paying the price.

  • Keep up the fight!!!

  • Hi. Can I mirror this video please? plus with what's in the description.

    I ask for I also have been a victim of this.

    Also the mediafire link does not work.

    Cheers,

    Have a great 2011.

  • @sssss...

    Stupid responce !

    Ground zero mosque still didn't appear.Ammerica has 2% moslems among it's population while in Afghanistan,christians are less than0.1%.Christian constitution mostly allow nonchristian to establish worship building while in Islam,mostly not.Afghanistan is occupied by America while Ground zero is not occupied by Afghanistan.The question is:why USA support fight censorship against obscenity while it "block" it's war scandals?

  • @ebolamotality did americans acquire land where the 3000 muslims died and decide to build a huge catholic church there?

  • "Operation Dark Heart",by "Anthony shaffer",is a new book in USA written by a previous soldier & CIA agent in Afganistan.10,000 copies of the new book were burned by Pentagon since it disclose the horrible crimes of USA against moslems under the cover of:"fighting terrorists"."YouTube's "convoy of death" video is an example where Americans killed 3000 unarmed Afgani within hours on a betray action.Is it not shamful for you to talk about fighting censorship while your government don't?

  • @cdk007 I know that my channel is atom sized compared to this organistion ; but I want to help out with this , so is it neccasary or bassicly o.k with you guys if I made a video helping this out?

  • Yeah, well if we have too much freedom then there will be people going around slandering whatever they feel like. And getting rid of the DMCA would be complete bullshit and people would take famous videos and get some kind of copyright on it, even though they have no rights to it. Abuse of the DMCA is serious though, maybe improve the DMCA, don't get rid of it.

  • Tired of constant false DMCA claims? Annoyed by the fact that they are really done to harass or steal your personal information? Pissed off that Youtube and Google do nothing? Put a stop to it. Go to ic3.gov It's the federal governments cyber crime division. They allow people to file reports that they will investigate. False DMCA's especially those done for the purposes of stealing identities or doxxing people is serious. ic3.gov will end the bullshit.
