"This video has been removed because of a copyright claim by JAMES A. ALEFANTIS" - oh really, youtube? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by throwaway345678

I clicked on one of the deleted pizzagategear youtube videos and this came up

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by JamesAlefantis "

I don't know if anyone has noticed this specific note on the deleted videos from youtube before, or posted about it. Seems to confirm that Alefantis wanted these videos removed, right?

It intrigued me, anyway and thought it deserved comment here.

This would seem to imply that the recent threats were real. Copyright would only cover the FB chat because, unlike everything else, that was private (so, strictly speaking, Ryan had no right to make it public). It's a good thing that about 500 people made copies and will re-up it on YT now.

and yet Lauren Duca responded to a private message from Martin Shkreli on twitter by taking a screenshot of the chat and posting it publicly, and they banned Shkreli's account.

That's a terrible precedent! Private messages should remain so without the express permission of the person who wrote them.

why? if you say something, always expect it could be repeated or become public knowledge. Nothing would stop someone from sharing a letter they received, or repeating something you told them in confidence.

edit: lol I thought I was still on the thread about the connection to moonie cult. but either way george seems to respond to lots of his comments
