Firstly, happy new year to you all. I hope you all had a safe one to see in 2009. You might see this video around the 'Tube quite a bit; at least, that's what I hope.

I leave it to you, the internet, to make this video viral. Even if you send it to just two people and encourage them to do the same, this message will travel a great distance.

PLEASE download and re-post this video to your channel:
http://www.mediafire.com/?nymwxtzz2mq
Subtitle track for YouTube (UK English): http://www.mediafire.com/?mqz4awcmyzm
Feature it, rate every copy you see, share it, favourite it, comment it.

It's a new year, and it's time to stand up against the infamous creationist practise of filing false DMCA notices to have their critics shut down. Join us in looking out for one another and protecting our precious right to free speech, comment and analysis.

If you are facing a DMCA notice, contact DMCAabuse:

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 you tube, 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 recognise 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.

  • your premise is faulty, creationism is not the enemy of free speech fanatics are. By logical progression, denial of a creator is a denial of the created, atheism denies the creator, thus it denies the created, it is a riduculous assertion of an improbable probability that all things occur by chance, akin to saying a car would form itself. Atheism as an argument is as riduculous as creationism . There is a higher probability for creationism than there is for Atheism, so dont be silly CNG

  • "atheism denies the creator, thus it denies the created," no it doesn't, you clearly have never even tried talking to an atheist.

    " improbable probability that all things occur by chance" clearly showing you dont understand the subjects at hand, nobody with any academic credibility states that it happens by chance. stop listening to all theist vids & listen to it from an atheist point on of view.

  • If it does not occur by chance then it is pre-meditated; pre-meditation is a sign of intelligence, that intelligence is the creator. However i am always open to being educated, as an atheist kindly tell me your premise for atheism

  • "If it does not occur by chance then it is pre-meditated" that's a false dichotomy. for instance. take oil ontop of water, its not pre-meditated nor random that makes it float and form globules.

    atheism is only the belief that there are no super natural being that fiddle around with us and the planet, whether they be god(s), nymphs, djinn, etc.

    plenty of atheists dont accept evolution ( i do) so its wrong to link the 2, was your refering to that?

  • evolution = natural selection; Atheism = no god(s), they both stand on the same foundation ie that there is/are no external intelligence(s) interfering with the trend of material development.

    Your oil on water analogy is apt, consider the fact that oil floats on water as a result of the principle that a lighter object would always float on the heavier one, now, by that same principle iron floats on water, could this be by chance?

  • "evolution = natural selection; Atheism = no god(s), they both stand on the same foundation" not really, there are more Christians who accept evolution then atheists.

    " by that same principle iron floats on water, could this be by chance?" no cos there are other things(bad word, just cant think of the right 1) acting on it.

    u wouldn't say things fall to earth by chance would u ? yet it would be stupid to say god pushs everything down. there's gravity to consider which takes chance out .

see all
