It's pure censorship: using the law to force the removal of your opponents' views."

  Some time ago I was trying to watch a video of Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers discussing themselves being invited to Expelled (a rather infamous "documentary" by now) under false pretenses. I saw that the video was removed for a copyright claim, so I and probably many others used Google's support mail thing and then it was suddenly up again. On a rather off topic note, it was quite an interesting excerpt [youtube.com]. But yeah, these people are pretty much all the same, and from what I'm told by friends there Google doesn't enjoy this crap anymore than the next person does so it's entirely possible that if you tell them they'll try to alleviate the problem.
