We haven’t heard an official explanation as to *why*, of course, but I can guess — a fake DMCA takedown request from the religious right or some practitioner of “woo” offended by Randi’s straight talk and overwhelming correctness compared to their vapid and ridiculous beliefs.
Copyright laws are out of control and here’s more proof. I’m sure he hasn’t even broken any, but with the MPAA and RIAA freaking out because the Internet is taking away their stranglehold on content publication they’re getting political pressure to make companies like Youtube respond to each and every takedown notice immediately and seriously.
Their actions to protect their bottom line are hurting our free speech. To hell with them. LET THEM DIE. Music and movies will survive. Differently, but they’ll survive.
It’s evolution, baby.
