Google Pulls Another 9/11 Video Production Off the Internet
This Time They Went After One From NewsFocus
NewsFocus - 040509
Google is at it again, once again pulling another 9/11 truth movement video
off of their servers. This time they hit NewsFocus. The production, like many, featured numerous video news
clips from the 9/11 and shortly after. All video clips were found under
their service, through either YouTube or Google itself. They apparently
don't have much of a problem posting those videos as separate clips, but if
you coalesce them together in one production with an analysis or point of
view contrary to the official government story, then they seem to apparently start
pulling video.For the record, the piece was produced in my private
studio, with all news clips pieced together under the Fair Use Act of
2007(HR-1201).

[ My response ]
To
Google corporate:
Regarding the recent removal of my video... since this was
my own production, done in my own studio, yes I want to know
about the "potential" copyright infringement.
Outlandish of you to pull video when you don't even know
for certain if there has even been a violation.
What
really becomes clear is that you are on a mission to remove
9/11 truth videos and are selectively censoring these
videos. You are in an ever increasing minority when it comes
to 9/11 truth.
Your
claim of copyright infringement is disingenuous at best,
since I can find countless current videos with innocuous
subject matter (non 9/11) that have been running longer than
my video, all with clear copyright infringement.
Case
made: you are being selective and that can easily be proven
in court with the examples I have already gathered of longer
running Google and YouTube videos with blatant copyright
infringement. I have quite a list and it took but only scant
minutes to gather it.
It seems
rather far fetched to state that you have a program that
sorts through ALL of the thousands of videos you have on
your myriad servers, one which brazenly purports to
reference against the countless tens of thousands of audio
algorithms for known music, tens of thousands of video
productions, not to mention the millions of pictures in the
public domain. Only the government has computers capable of
that technology and that is a clear stretch even for them.
For the
record, my video contains pieces of news clips that are
clearly allowed under the Fair Use Act for documentary and
educational purposes. I purposely selected only older pieces
of audio from Bach and Beethoven which are clearly not under
copyright law. Conversely, the non-9/11 videos that I have
recently found on your server undeniably prove that you still allow use of these
older bits of audio that I also used.
Under
the Fair Use Act of 2007(HR-1201), the Freedom and
Innovation Revitalizing U.S. Entrepreneurship (FAIR USE)
Act, users are granted exemptions to the highly restrictive
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA. Users are allowed
to make limited copies of copyrighted material for personal
purposes as well as for reviews, news reporting and
education. This includes documentary film making.
It
should also be noted, the copyright owner sustains the
burden of proving infringement, not Google.
Please provide the complaint with your reply.
What is
clear is that you are the one in violation of the Digital
Millennium Act. If you honestly think that you can
photograph my private property and post it for known crooks
and thieves to use in assessing potential burglary or
terrorist targets, then you are opening yourselves up
for a serious class action lawsuit that will most surely be
the demise of your company.
Under
the Terrorism Act 2000, it is an offense to take or to
possess a photograph likely to be useful to a person or
group committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism.
I do
believe that you are ingenuous and/or ignorant enough to
welcome this challenge in court, so let's just call this one
"game on." There are a number of sites that are now
aligning to take you to task for infringing on personal
privacy for your own blatant corporate avarice.
You
can't have it both ways at Google. We won't allow it.
Your
employees will be run out of every town around the world as
this movement continues to grow. (see recent
villagers in Broughton incident)
You have
brought this on yourselves with your selective censorship
and myopic legal understanding of personal privacy concerns.
And don't even begin to say that you cannot pull this
Google Maps invasion of privacy down from your servers, since you
clearly already did this for Dick Cheney's house (vice
presidential residence), a well
known public address to most Americans.
You have
chosen some shaky ground here for litigation with no tenable
legal base to argue from. We are most hopeful this will be
the demise of your Google Maps and will work tirelessly to
see you end this clear invasion of personal privacy to all.
This
email will be forwarded to many in the US Congress. It will
also be forwarded to many legal experts, all just clamoring
for a piece of the lucrative Google financial pie. Again,
you brought this on yourselves.
Your
explanation of my "potential" copyright infringement
is expected. In the meantime, I respectfully request that
you please repost my video.
Thank
you.
Tim
