Just more evidence that Charles Johnson is neither a conservative nor interested in any truth, but is basically a smear merchant (witness more Nirther, Glenn Beck hatred, and BNP posts, BNP meant to smear Robert Spencer and Pam Geller, among others.) Here’s what Kid Icarus goes with
The Video Anthony Watts Doesn’t Want You to See
Climate change “skeptic†Anthony Watts tried to use YouTube’s copyright rules to suppress this video by Peter Sinclair.
Good luck with that.
EC then posts said video, and follows at the bottom with Anthony Watts’ reply. Yet, Chucky doesn’t bother to supply any, oh, what’s that word…..facts to support the video, does he bother to mention something really, really important in his quest for the truth? Um, no
I’ve gotten dozens of such requests from magazines, newsletters, book publishers, and TV stations. So far, I’ve never said no to any request for such materials or copyright waivers. I’ve filled out lots of forms granting my copyright waiver for the legally skittish that need more than an email or “sure, go ahead†over the phone.
But, in the video Mr. Sinclair produced and posted on YouTube, I noticed that he did in fact use photographs and graphics from my published book “Is The U.S. Surface Temperature Record Reliable?â€. I hold the copyright on this book. The notice for copyright is in the inside front cover. © 2009 Surfacestations.org All rights reserved, including the right to reproduce this report or portions thereof in any form. ISBN 13: 978-1-934791-29-5 and ISBN 10: 1-934791-26-6.
Ah. So, said video has multiple violations of the copyright act. That would be rather important. Not to mention the ad hominem attacks throughout the video, which really doesn’t bother to provide substantive and cogent facts to rebut Mr. Watts. Nor does Chucky.
BTW, Little Green Footballs doesn’t actually get any of the links, thanks to a special redirect script Basil uses.
