The tin-pot dictators at Fox News are on the march!
An organization called News1News specializes in capturing Glenn Beck's absurd ravings and holding him up for the ridicule he so richly deserves. News1News had a YouTube account featuring such material.
News1News was protected by the fair use doctrine, of course. Fair use allows small snippets of copyrighted material to be used in this manner.
But because Fox News are a bunch of right-wing fucks who don't give a shit about the law, they complained to YouTube and got the News1News channel shut down.
A right-wing bleevodolf yip flipped open, and naturally, YouTube listened.
This after Google refused to allow me to delete my own posts without a court order. (Google now owns YouPube.) Where's Fox's court order to shut down the News1News channel?
That's right. They don't have one. They don't need one because they're a corporation, you see, so they're privileged and special. Nonetheless, Fox committed perjury, as I am reasonably sure they knew the "offending" material was protected as fair use.
News1News must have really been a true threat to Murdoch's Morlocks, considering Pox News was willing to lie in order to get their account yanked. Then again, it's not like Fox's so-called news operation is known for truth in its coverage.
This is also more proof of the DMCA's Nazism. If whoever introduced the DMCA is still in Congress, they need to be expelled from Congress lickety-split. And Fox News needs to be prosecuted for perjury.
