Massive Takedown of Anti-Scientology Videos on YouTube
Saturday, September 6, 2008 : Over a period of twelve hours, between this Thursday night and Friday morning, American Rights Counsel LLC sent out over 4000 DMCA takedown notices to YouTube, all making copyright infringement claims against videos with content critical of the Church of Scientology. Clips included footage of Australian and German news reports about Scientology, A Message to Anonymous/Scientology , and footage from a Clearwater City Commission meeting. Many accounts were suspended by YouTube in response to multiple allegations of copyright infringement.
YouTube users responded with DMCA counter-notices. At this time, many of the suspended channels have been reinstated and many of the videos are back up. Whether or not American Rights Counsel, LLC represents the notoriously litigious Church of Scientology is unclear, but this would not be the first time that the Church of Scientology has used the DMCA to silence Scientology critics. The Church of Scientology DMCA complaints shut down the YouTube channel of critic Mark Bunker in June, 2008. Bunker’s account, XenuTV, was also among the channels shut down in this latest flurry of takedown notices. Read More

I know it's not "hip" to say this, but y'know, YouTube IS filled with videos that don't belong to the people who posted them, they belong to the people who MADE them and/or legally OWN them. There seems to be a growing belief among internet-addicts that anyone is allowed to post anything anywhere, intellectual property rights and copyright be damned.
I hate to say it, but even the wacky video of Tom Cruise going 'zoosh' and 'pffffft' and "whoomp' that started all this, belongs to the Church of Scientology and they DO have a right to demand it be taken down. It's THEIR video. It's THEIR property. Like it or not, people do NOT have some sort of God-given inherent right to post something that doesn't belong to them.
People are just going to have to generate their own original content in the fight against Scientology, rather than skeetch copyrighted material from news sources and from Scientology. Then there's, theoretically, no basis for anyone to demand their removal.

Sorry Jimbo,
But most of what was taken down had no scientology copyright. This so called church has a long dark history of doing this kind of thing. But this was just one member of scientology behind this. His name is Oliver Schaper and a quick google of his name shows he owns quite a few gay porn sites. Google the name Jimbo and does scientology approve of its members promoting gay and teen porn?
And check out xenu.net and xenutv.com. Also wefoundthecard.com is a great site to learn about the darker side of scientology.

Would that be just like how John McCain's use of Jackson Browne (Running on Empty) and Heart (Barracuda) music during the campaign was illegal? Both artists have complained but the strongest supporters of copywrite laws and private property had no problem stealing that type of intellectual property to promote their agenda....
In the case of Scientology, a video showing abuse of lies is much more likely to satisfy the definition of fair use than using music without asking when someone is walking up to a stage at a public event.

It won't work, ladies and degenerates. Ways will be found to continue the spreading of the noble truth. There are teams of people who constantly monitor and download the essential information to keep the public informed of the base motivations of an evil group. It cannot be stopped. Ditch your führer and save yourself. Every scientologist remaining under the banner of corruption will pay the price for their allegiance. You are all responsible, because you have all accepted the leadership of a sociopath. You will eventually have to prove that you 'did not know'.
Your organisation will never achieve it's desired place in the realm of the norm. It's corruption is detailed and verifiable and all that has to be done by those railed against you is to maintain the patience and energy to expose it to those who can't yet believe such nefarious conduct be possible in this age.
The show you present will have it's curtains drawn against it and the measure of your character will be compared to the greatest of past evils. The lights will go out on you and the world will be relieved of another terror.

Jerald, you don't have to tell me about xenu.net. I've been opposing Scientology since before you were probably even born.
However, I'm not going to suspend my belief in the importance of protecting intellectual property in the process. Television news footage is NOT public domain, and just because Scientology is bad doesn't make appropriating their materials "fair use".

I always try to put the xenu links in Jimbo for those new readers who have not seen the site yet. I agree with you about copyright . I have also seen " fair use" pushed past the legal limit. But copyright has nothing to do with this case. The person who filed all the complaints doesn't own any of the copyrights in question and had no standing to remove the video's.
Jimbo, you obviously do not know much about the 4000+ fraudulent claims lodged to youtube by 'American Rights Councel' (ARC!!). A massive amount of clips were taken down under false pretenses. How can ARC claim infringement of original content?
This latest attempt by the cult of scientology was just another example of what Cruise said in the leaked video. What was that that Tom said in one clip? "We dont need permission". For someone that says they've been criticizing the cult for more years than Jerald has been alive, you surely don't know much about scientology at all.
In fact, I think you could be just another lying scientologist trying to obfuscate the criminality of scientology and it's members.
So, Jimbo, you keep haunting the comments in this article, and we shall continue in the exposition of the criminal enterprise of scientology.

WHAT IS THE SECRET THAT THE “ANTI-GOD CULT” CALLED “SCIENTOLOGY” FEARS THE MOST FROM BEING EXPOSED?
The secret most un-exposed about Scientology is that is it an “applied physiological philosophy” rather than an “applied religious philosophy”. All Scientology courses, all auditing processes, and all the management and professional courses are based on physiological phenomenas, psychophysiology, emotions, human behavior patterns etc., that are our birth right and used in Scientology as their own discoveries. Even their PTS-SP data is based upon how a “Symptom” re-stimulation is brought out by physiological reactions of the mind affecting the body when under stress. They blame innocent human beings called by them “suppressive persons” for bringing out a symptom that was there to warn you of hidden real illnesses caused by non-suppressive sources such as parasites, chemicals, poisons, toxins, viruses and bacteria. The data on PTS-SP is twisted by them to blame innocent people in order to keep them in line.
The only way to fight them is to expose to the world--how Scientology has used physiological phenomenas as the basis for a false religion. How it has harmed families by claiming that innocent mothers and fathers are SPs -- when they lied about symptom re-stimulations to the world.
No where in Scientology will you find courses or services on any bible, there is no study or belief in heaven, hell, saints, angels, the devil, or even God himself. They do not study religion or even believe in religions. They do not share common values with any other religion. Their goal is to eliminate all other religions.
The E-meter reads your physiological reactions, the Ronbots never calls it that—they call it the “CHARGE” or the “MASS” or “ENGRAMS” OR “MENTAL IMAGE PICTURES” that you have in your brain—all meant to distract you from the truth.
Know this fact --- There is a law of Nature or law of God called “Physiological Reactions” that is the true secret behind Scientology’s Dianectic study technology.
AUDITING ERASES AND LESSONS YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS!!! Once they are gone – your symptoms can’t be re-stimulated by stress or arguments. This is NOT a good thing, because ALL doctors depend on symptoms to guide them in treating you! This is why they prohibit you from seeing the doctors of your choice!!! Understand now how the scam works? Now when you argue with your mother and don’t get sick – you think she was the cause of all your illnesses.
If you were audited a hundred times over and over again (repetitive auditing) for a word that you were ordered to never clear or understand, and then made to read a page that contained that word—it would never again read on the Emeter or cause a physiological reaction.
Both Psychiatry and Scientology treats the symptoms of the mind and not the real causes of mental illnesses, one with drugs and one with erasing physiological reactions called Engrams or mental image pictures! Which one is worst? Drugs you can stop, but the other is irreversible and also a dangerous and deadly scam.
With the knowledge contained here, psychiatry will defeat $cientology easily.
LRH discovered that when you passed a misunderstood word—you manifested many reactions of various types: Yawning, sleepiness, not there feeling, dizziness, blurry eyes, nervousness and dozens more.
Being the liar that he was, he claimed that physiological reactions which he now calls “Dianetics” was “‘his” invention and not a law of God; he hid the fact that it is our human inheritance since time began.
Granted that his power of obnosis (observation) was the best in the world, his crime against humanity was to make a “religion” based upon the falsehood, that it was his very own invention or creation and not a law of God belonging to all Humanity as their lawful right.
For proof that the Cult has lied to you: -- Google “L. Ron Hubbard and Physiological Reactions” or visit their own Godless websites:
http://www.studytechnology.org/10-barr.htm or http://www.lronhubbardstudytech.asn.au/10-barr.htm http://www.studytech.org/study_tech3.php
http://www.effective-education.org/pg003.html
LRH used God’s Natural laws to make slaves of mankind!
“So long as a physiological phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many.” LRH (from Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G from Oct. 1952)
“This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves. Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here.” LRH (from PDC tape lecture #20 “Formative State of Scientology, Definition of Logic”, given on 6 Dec 52)
"All men shall be my slaves! LRH
All women shall submit to my charms! LRH
All mankind shall grovel at my feet and not know why!" [L. Ron Hubbard, "Affirmations", late 1940s] Affirmations, exhibits 500-4D, E, F & G. See Church of Scientology v Armstrong, transcript volume 11, p.1886.
"Somebody some day will say 'this is illegal'.
By then be sure the orgs say what is legal or not."
L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 4 January 1966
"THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM”. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them." - L. Ron Hubbard, "Off the Time Track," lecture of June 1952, excerpted in JOURNAL OF SCIENTOLOGY issue 18-G, reprinted in TECHNICAL VOLUMES OF DIANETICS & SCIENTOLOGY, vol. 1, p. 418
"Scientology...is not a religion." - L. Ron Hubbard, CREATION OF HUMAN ABILITY, 1954, p. 251
L. Ron Hubbard’s religion before he discovered physiological reactions was “Satanism”.
He wanted to invent a new religion masked as being good, but in fact was totally evil so that he could take his place on the "Throne of the Beast," which he firmly believed himself to be the rightful heir. Being an evil Satanist he wanted to destroy all other religions and have Scientology as the only religion left on Earth. He wanted to be the RULER of the NEW WORLD ORDER and sit on the Throne of the Beast.
All living beings have physiological (The functions and activities of life or of living matter such as the organic processes of organs, tissues, or cells) phenomenas (observable reactions known through the senses rather than by thought or intuition), or physical manifestations (made evident by showing or displaying) or physical reactions, that we see or feel as symptoms, and they are external and/or internal or visible signs or warnings given to us, by our creator to help us survive, help us increase our potential, our knowledge and our health.
All life on Earth has these cause and effect reactions called physiological phenomenas. All living beings whether they are plant, insect, retile or animal or human could not live without these reactions. They influence the body’s and the mind’s reactions to any form of stimuli, and have an influence on every cell of the body and mind.
[Noun. Physiological reaction – Is an automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus.]
[Examples of physiological reactions: inborn reflex, innate reflex, instinctive reflex, reflex response, unconditioned reflex, accommodation reflex, Babinski reflex, belching, headache, migraines, swelling, sweating, erections, blinking, blushing, burping, defecation reflex, disgorgement, involuntary eye blinking, farting, skin flush, gag reflex, goose bump, goose pimple, gooseflesh, involuntary gulping, involuntary hiccup, knee-jerk reflex, light reflex, puking, papillary reflex, rectal reflex, regurgitation, shaking, shiver, shock, sneezing, startle, stretch reflex, suckling reflex, trembling, upset stomach, vomiting, involuntary winking, yawn, yawning -- plus hundreds more.]
Ron studied Physiological reactions more than most scientists and applied it to invent a new Religion.
He did not invent but copied the laws of nature and scammed the whole world into thinking that he alone discovered these reactions and no one else did. What he did do - was noticed the reactions of students and from this scam invented Dianetics “study tech”.
Examples of Physiological reactions of the body and mind when reading:
Falling asleep while reading - yawning, confusion, feeling blank, feeling anxious, not there feeling, tearing eyes, eyes going out of focus, dizziness, reeling, rebelliousness, headaches, skipping words, feeling nauseous, fidgeting, jumpy while reading, can’t stay still, mispronouncing words, feeling as if you are squashed, feeling as if you are over-whelmed, twitching, can’t apply what you are reading, can’t understand what you are reading, etc. are all due to physiological reactions when you read misunderstood words or misunderstood definitions.
The Cult’s method of healing called “Touch Assist” is nothing more than erasing the physiological reactions of PAIN. Physiological reactions are the clues from the law of God called “The Law of Cause and Effect”; for every action there is a reaction. A complete understand of these two laws of God can be used to learn to self-heal.
To understand the sinful secrets of your enemy –is to know exactly where to hurt him.
Scientology’s copyrighted files on based upon the laws of Nature and laws of God; they are in violation of copyrights and patent rights. Therefore, the contents or subjects can be used by anyone and can be talked about without fear of any lawsuit.
Everything you do produces a reaction in your body and mind. Every time you read, eat, sleep, rest, run, etc. produces a reaction.
To tell your mother that you invented a new religion, because you discovered why you farted, is a good example of the scam that Ron pulled on you. He got away with it because the world did not see these reactions as they applied to reading. Or if some scientist saw and knew it—he did not protest it and allowed a Cult to claim it as their own new discovery.
If you want to destroy the cult, study your own reactions each time you do something—learn to read yourself and use your own power of obnosis to discover the real world within and around you.
Yours truly

Didn't see anything that "Scientology" was involved. That's what you like to believe, understandable, but where's the evidence?

If you look there are the same number of videos on YouTube dealing with Scientology. None of the accounts mentioned above have been suspended and none of the mentioned videos have been taken down.
Q: Was this an instance of a legitimate copyright holder protecting their own copyrighted material?
A: NO. Many of the videos that were taken down consisted entirely of content generated by the submitter. Obviously, all copyright in those videos belonged entirely to the submitter; obviously, anyone (such as the "American Rights Counsel LLC", which does not appear to even be a legal entity in the United States) who claimed to be the copyright holder or even acting on behalf of the copyright holder to take it down was illegally making false copyright claims to try and take people's own copyrighted material away from them.
Q: Is there any evidence that this was done by Scientology, or on behalf of Scientology?
A: There is a large amount of circumstantial evidence that this was done on behalf of Scientology. Every single video over which the "American Rights Council LLC" illegally claimed the necessary standing to issue a take-down notice was critical of Scientology. The use of an (imaginary) "front organization" in the fraud is directly from the playbook of L. Ron Hubbard, who specifically advised the use of such impostures in the many illegal tactics he advocated for dealing with what he called "the enemies of Scientology."
I hope everyone looks at the scientology link you posted. They I hope they visit xenu.net to see what the truth is. There they can fine hundreds of court and public records covering the dark side of scientology. They can visit xenutv.com to see new programs of scientology and public hearings about the evil action's of scientology.
They can also see many video's of the members of scientology in action. Yes, let them visit scientologymyths to see what you have to say and then let them see the truth for themselves when they see the records and video's.
You agree everyone should see both sides don't you?

Only your subjects are showing. Looks lik eyour posts have been deleted.
That's a shame, because in my experience there is *no* better way to educate the public about the fact that Scientology is a dangerous cult than to *let a Scientologist speak*.
Here's what you should do.
1) Go to google.com
2) Look up the defintion of "terrorist"
3) Look up the definition of "cult"
4) Look up "Anonymous"
5) Look up "Scientology"
6) Think.
Item 6 is the *most important*. Please do it. Please.

Not that I disagree with anything you said, but there's no such word as "phenomenas". The plural of "phenomenon" is "phenomena."

Jimbo is attempting to give credibility to scientology's methods while pretending to downplay their importance.
How is that working out for you Jimbo?
