Putting up this note since there are some directly paid by and directly affiliated with this cult who try to take down any expose of the person under a concocted banner of "copyrights violation". Such people should be immediately brought to justice. One such person who has been going around doing this is Mr. " Richard Wetmore" as can be evidenced by a google and related discussion on rationalist forums such as Randi's ]:

Fair Use Raitonale:

According to US law Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107, there are 4 factors:

1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (This work is to raise awareness( nonprofit educational purposes ) and is absolutely not for commercial use

2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (The source is from Television news programs, which has already been broadcasted to the public multiple times, in multiple languages - including on state television channels.)

3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; (Only a portion of the original video less than 20% is used in this clip. If we use the whole video then it may not constitute fair use.)

4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. (Considering 2, and 3 above, there's not much effect upon the market value of original work since the original works were for educational and non-commercial purposes - and has already been broadcast to the public multiple times, in multiple languages on national television in many countries.)
