Court twisted copyright law to justify banning video

samedi 1 mars 2014 à 13:00

A US appeals court twisted copyright law to justify banning the video, "The Innocence of Muslims".

The video is full of bigotry and intolerance, and is of no value in my opinion. However, the pressure to censor it reflects bigotry and intolerance too, and courts should not cater to this.

Above all, we must never surrender freedoms to rescue hostages taken by the enemies of freedom, and that's in effect what the plaintiff's situation was.
