YouTube Copyright – The Flip Side of the Coin

Andrew Johnson (ad.johnson@ntlworld….)

04 Oct 2011

Recently, a video posted by someone called “Adam Taylor” using a channel name of citizenfor911truth, was brought to my attention. It

I chose to ask this poster to remove the video, because he had re-edited my original video (www.youtube.com/watc…) hence it is now removed: www.youtube.com/watc…

I advised him I would file a copyright violation because he had re-used the initial part of the video I had made and then, following a set of pictures he’d included which he claimed explained the “toasted cars” and circular holes in the building and so on, he put a caption saying something similar to “do not waste your money this book as it is disinformation” and he re-used the spinning book image from my video.

Of course, this is not the first time we have seen this done, nor will it be the last. It indicates to me, if to no one else, that something very strange is going on here.

Again, the thread of correspondence I had with this person shows that even when presented with clear evidence, they choose ignore it, try to adopt some illusory moral high ground and then either misquote, mis-represent for fail to provide complete information, as he seems to have done here:

So, here goes… again….

 

Notification of Copyright Violation before I submit one

Hello,

Regarding this video:

www.youtube.com/watc…

I am requesting you take it down as you have misused the content of my original video in a disrespectful and negative way.

Because you have re-used the music and the initial segment from my video, I will, unless you remove it, file a copyright violation against your channel.

As you are aware there are hundreds of debunking videos covering similar items to your own (which adds nothing not already covered by others – in the same sort of incomplete and mus-representative way).

However your comments omit most of the evidence included in the book – and again you omit the fact that a proportion of the evidence was submitted to court.

You also reference postings by Dr Greg Jenkins – who has no explanation for what happened – he merely tries to state that Dr Judy Wood is wrong (and fails). For additional information on the circumstances behind some of Greg Jenkins work, I suggest you download my free e-book:

I hope you can be respectful and "live up to your channel name".

I don’t want to file a copyright violation notice, but will do so due to the way you have made this video and mis-used my composition.

Re: Notification of Copyright Violation before I submit one

Hello.

First let me start off by saying that I included at the beginning of the video a screen grab of the original video description saying that copying and sharing of the video was encouraged. There’s even a link included to your website to download the video. This I felt gave me sufficient grounds to reupload the video as I saw fit. Apparently all you are upset about is how I uploaded it, but never the less you apparently did give permission.

Secondly, I would have prefered that you actually try responding directly to my video in some way. I have no problem with open debate, but you are effectively telling me to delete my arguments.

However, I will remove the video, since it bothers you that much. I may look at your book at some point, but I have already read a great deal of Judy Wood’s work, and I find her theories groundless. I find it very sad that you felt the need to engage in these tactics, and that you support someone as fraudulent as Judy Wood. I couldn’t care less that this theory was submitted to court. How about submission to a peer-reviewed journal?

I hope that at some point in the future you’ll actually grow a pair and find better ways at responding to your critics.

-Adam

Re: Notification of Copyright Violation before I submit one

Hello,

Thank you for your response and agreeing to delete the video. I have some comments, which I would hope you can add to your blog post at:

911debunkers.blogspo…

First, I am assuming that you think thermite was involved in the destruction of the WTC.

In your blog post, though you screen grabbed my message, it is hard to read and you did not mention the "thermite free RFC" in your response. Please can you add/paste in the actual TEXT from my message, including the link (clickable if possible).

So, you think Peer Review is more valid than a court submission? What are the consequences of submitting fraudulent data for peer review? What are the consequences of submitting fraudulent data in a trial?

I noticed you referenced the deletion of my original channel. Again, however, in the same fashion that you linked to Greg Jenkins posts before, you did not give full and complete information about the suspension of my YouTube channel, which is documented here:

www.checktheevidence…

Which brings me on to "tactics". You will see that the person who filed copyright violations against my channel never wrote to me first – as I did to you. So those are my tactics to write to people and ask them to do something first. Instead, my channel was deleted – essentially without warning. It’s worth checking who was behind this.

On your blog post, you link a video from my original channel entitled "Architects and Engineers debunk Judy Wood". This was NOT the title of my video – so your screen grab is misleading. I rarely use the word debunking – unless I am quoting someone else or doing a play on words.

Finally, I asked you to remove the video because you didn’t "copy" it. You re-edited it, defaced part of it and reposted it. It’s fine to say the "toasted cars" are ordinary fires, but to repost the spinning book image with the word "disinformation" posted on it is NOT copying. It is clear misuse of imagery. If you can’t see the difference, then it is clear we’ve been brought up differently.

Not only that, but don’t even state if you’ve read the book (available from a library if you don’t want to spend cash on it). A fair video would have some kind of read through of the book and quote page/figure numbers and where/why they were wrong. But no, you just go and make bold statements – and get things wrong. Then you complain when someone asks you politely to remove your video.

You would also see that the copyright violations which took away my channel were for REPOSTS with NO editing or defacement and were done with the same goal as the producer of the original video – to enlighten people as to free energy.

So, more politeness and more research is needed on your part.

Or maybe, you’d just do what Webster Tarpley did – and misquote and misrepresent what has already been posted – some of it for over 5 years.

Additional critique (not debunking) of the "peer-reviewed" paper – published in a vanity journal, not associated with any formalised research group or university etc:

Please, that weak video was already addressed:

You can deny the evidence of nanothermite all you want, but the fact of the matter is that there is not a shred of evidence that "DEW" was used at the WTC.

Hi there,

It is now abundantly clear where you stand. I guess you were just "trying to be nice" when you said you’d read my free e-book.

I trust you will update your blog as I asked. As you know, I have a website and I do post correspondence on there occasionally.

I try and give people full access to all correspondence (something you haven’t yet done on your blog). I also don’t keep my name a secret – nor do I use a channel name that I do not at least make some attempt to make accurate.

Feel free to ignore as much evidence as you like. Peer review is nothing – if those peers can not be shown evidence in a free and open court and those “claiming truth” suffer consequences for not being truthful.

Good luck in your willful ignorance of evidence.

Read the books – THEN respond with specific criticism. Anything less proves you are not interested in the evidence – the truth.

Re: Notification of Copyright Violation before I submit one

"I trust you will update your blog as I asked"

There’s nothing to update. All that happened is that you were upset someone posted a debunking of your rediculous theory, so you had to resport to threaten to copyright it instead of posting a response.

"I have a website and I do post correspondence on there occasionally."

Post whatever you like. I really couldn’t care less.

"I also don’t keep my name a secret "

My name is Adam Taylor. Happy?

Re: Notification of Copyright Violation before I submit one

Adam Taylor,

Did you know that in this country, we have something called the Data Protection Act (Bill) – one of the aspects of it is "insufficiency of information" or "completeness" of information.

Both your video and blog would break the spirit of "data protection". As you can see, my website tries to adhere to the spirit of this act.

Knowing your name does not help much here.

You have now clearly gone against the spirit of your channel name by refusing to update the blog with additional contextual information.

Good luck.
