If you go to the description in that video, you can go to the Death Threat Video Link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqMMm52CWxE
It says: "the video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by James A. Alefantis"
At first I thought he messed around with the source code, but there isn't anything unique in the video which infringes copyright more than other videos. Now if mr. Alefantis visits Voat, which he probably does, I would like to ask him what the reason for this is? Maybe there is a rational explanation, but this looks very strange.
Ok, update, it seems like the message completely disappeared, but here is a screenshot from when it was still up: https://postimg.org/image/ufsn6qd37/
The screen turns white now, is that normal to happen after a while with copyright claims of Youtube videos?

So in essence - by laying claim to it, James is admitting he made the death threats?
guilty much?

No. That is not the only possibility.

Mind backing your claim?

One possibility is that he went to Youtube and said this video was libelous and they took it down.
Another is that does use something copyrighted and he asked them to take it down.
Both of those could be true if he didn't make any death threats. (They also could be true if he did make the threats.) So asking to take the video down does not mean he is admitting the video is true.
In Logic this is known as Ignored Alternatives or False Dichotomy and a few other names.

Fair enough.
