Infowars nightly news Censored: Serial child killers, Sibel Edmonds, Brothers in Arms

In response to a copyright takedown on YouTube, qbit.cc has set aside some bandwidth to make the full uncensored episode avilable (below), in the form of embedded flash  and seeding  mp4 video file on bitorrent.  This was one of the best episodes yet.

Pi copyrighted, according to YouTube policy

Intellectual property is a false concept.  Numbers can’t be owned, and all data on the internet (such as music and video files) are just large binary numbers.  As one YouTube commenter pointed out, since Pi is non-repeating and never ending, it contains every known piece of music.

Alex Jones removed from Google News since November, YouTube channel may be deleted

After “they” flushed the video of Donald Rumsfeld saying “missile hit the pentagon” down a memory hole (I swear I’ve seen it with my own eyes… once), I started saving videos- usually FLV or Mp4 files from my browser cache.  If YouTube wants to censor videos selectively for political gain, I have a few TB/month bandwidth I can spare to xfer some important documentary videos as I’m sure quite a few other hosts do.   I think YouTube and the government should go ahead and delete his account cause they’ll really be pouring gasoline on the fire.  People will use other services to distribute the videos and we won’t continue supporting this intelligence agency founded/funded service.   Google News basically pushes all the latest internet propaganda from the corporate media to the top, constantly finding new ways to stifle public opinion. YouTube takes important videos down all the time under the pretext of copyright violation or the ambiguous “terms of use violation” they applied uniquely to Alex Jones’ YouTube channel.  We can do better.

If you want to help distribute underground documentary videos, all you have to do is seed them on BitTorrent. Vuze is a good BitTorrent client. Use the advanced view + transport encryption.  That’s something you can do easily from the comfort of your own home. Here’s how:

After downloading Vuze from the link above, or other torrent client, use a torrent search engine like Torrentz.com to search for “Alex Jones” (or whatever you want).  Download the .torrent files for the movies you want to watch, open them with Vuze, and transfer the files down.  Leave the files “seeding” which means they are shared with others in the torrent network.  Click to enlarge…

There are other social web video sites like Liveleak.com, vimeo.com, Metacafe.com, Break.com etc to upload vids.  We should definitely diversify our uploading efforts.   I’m getting pretty sick of copyright violation takedowns from YouTube in my old posts and having to find other copies.

What the feds and spooks don’t seem to realize is that for every video they take down, 10 more are going to pop up.   This whack-a-mole approach just makes their problem (us) worse as censorship makes people more curious and validates everything we’re doing.

Three Google employees convicted in Italian court for user-uploaded content

In late 2006, students at a school in Turin, Italy filmed and then uploaded a video to Google Video that showed them bullying an autistic schoolmate. The video was totally reprehensible and we took it down within hours of being notified by the Italian police. We also worked with the local police to help identify the person responsible for uploading it and she was subsequently sentenced to 10 months community service by a court in Turin, as were several other classmates who were also involved. In these rare but unpleasant cases, that’s where our involvement would normally end.

But in this instance, a public prosecutor in Milan decided to indict four Google employees —David Drummond, Arvind Desikan, Peter Fleischer and George Reyes (who left the company in 2008). The charges brought against them were criminal defamation and a failure to comply with the Italian privacy code. To be clear, none of the four Googlers charged had anything to do with this video. They did not appear in it, film it, upload it or review it. None of them know the people involved or were even aware of the video’s existence until after it was removed.

Nevertheless, a judge in Milan today convicted 3 of the 4 defendants — David Drummond, Peter Fleischer and George Reyes — for failure to comply with the Italian privacy code. All 4 were found not guilty of criminal defamation. In essence this ruling means that employees of hosting platforms like Google Video are criminally responsible for content that users upload. We will appeal this astonishing decision because the Google employees on trial had nothing to do with the video in question. Throughout this long process, they have displayed admirable grace and fortitude. It is outrageous that they have been subjected to a trial at all.

But we are deeply troubled by this conviction for another equally important reason. It attacks the very principles of freedom on which the Internet is built. Common sense dictates that only the person who films and uploads a video to a hosting platform could take the steps necessary to protect the privacy and obtain the consent of the people they are filming. European Union law was drafted specifically to give hosting providers a safe harbor from liability so long as they remove illegal content once they are notified of its existence. The belief, rightly in our opinion, was that a notice and take down regime of this kind would help creativity flourish and support free speech while protecting personal privacy. If that principle is swept aside and sites like Blogger, YouTube and indeed every social network and any community bulletin board, are held responsible for vetting every single piece of content that is uploaded to them — every piece of text, every photo, every file, every video — then the Web as we know it will cease to exist, and many of the economic, social, political and technological benefits it brings could disappear.

These are important points of principle, which is why we and our employees will vigorously appeal this decision.
