Michael Savage- First Banned In Britain, Now Banned From You Tube
Joe Seales ^ | 10-20-09 | Joe Seales

Posted on 10/20/2009 6:23:09 PM PDT by JoeSeales

You Tube has shut down without warning the most subscribed Michael Savage video channel. Imitator777,a You Tube member since August of 2007 had over 350 videos and over 2,500 individual subscribers..this morning we awoke to find everything completely erased..they deleted all his videos and his channel without warning or reason. You Tube has been well known to censor or delete channels in the past (let's face it, they are owned by Google), but this is the first time (to my knowledge) that they have specifically targeted a channel predominantly dedicated to a radio talk show host. Imitator has created a new channel, and I've made a campaign video in support of him. If you're a You Tube user and you appreciate Michael Savage, please help support him.

Don’t worry, the FCC’s new net neutrality policy is all about expanding the free flow of ideas on the web. Net neutrality means that no information package should take precedence over another information package relayed off a server. But, if the information package is deleted before this FCC policy, then that is a great tragedy to this administration. Take some comfort in the knowledge that the deleted conservative videos criticizing this administration will be replaced with inspired and engaging propaganda designed to promote the goals and policies of this administration. (Sarcasm apparent)

Great 'name play'. Works and no doubt, a word that would make Obama's megla-ego stir. I would copyright; and make him pay for it. He WILL want to own it.

OTOH; given Obama proclivities; he will just claim it under 'redistribution' of ideas/talent MO.

This is how the communist slowly peel away the workings of capitalism. Not one other conservative talk show whether it be radio or tv is coming to Savage’s defense and that is why the communist party of the U.S and Britain have been able to accomplish this! They will continue to do so.....

A little reality needs to be injected here into this discussion.

Long time Youtube vlogger here...

It is possible Youtube pulled the videos for ‘content’ and when enough ‘strikes’ happen on a Youtube account, they suspend the account. That COULD OF happened. Some of Savage’s material would be considered a violation of Youtube’s terms of use and I could see multiple violations leading to the suspension of an account.

It is also possible that Michael Savage himself or his company/group/corporation could have filed legitimate DMCA (Digital Milennium Copyright Act) notices against this user for using Savage’s obviously copyrighted material.

Without an explanation from Youtube, we can’t determine if they are trying to stifle free speech or if they were yielding to Lawyers.

I believe it was the McConnell (?) show this afternoon where I heard it said that if it were announced the firstborn of each family would be killed by political dictate, Americans would be utterly outraged and there would be no doubt of their furor upon government. The implication was, I believe, that until and unless we as citizens display that type of intolerance for the destruction of our nation, it will NOT be taken seriously by politicians.

Have you ever thought of the possibility that Savage himself complained to youtube and ordered the videos be taken down since it is a violation of his copyright for these people to post his dialogs without his permission?!

Savage is always complaining, he complained about Knew's posting podcasts of his show on their website, he complained so that XM eventually could not offer his show as part of their package, in the youtube interview, it says youtube was contacted by Savage's syndicator complaining about copyright infringement which may or may not be the case.

On one hand knowing Savage that's possible, but on the other hand it sounds like there's more going on behind the scenes with this account than mere copyright issues because there's a lot of Savage youtubers out there that haven't been suspended.

Did you watch the interview? Something about the guy was asked to be a youtube partner (dont know what that is) and he declined, supposedly high profile you tubers get asked that, but that also causes their videos to come under closer scrutiny by youtube management.

Why would he get asked to be a partner if his videos were illegal to start with? And why is the guy just now being suspended since he has been posting Savage clips for the last 2 years up til now?

This guy had one of the better channels featuring Savage if not the best, because he put a lot of time and effort updating it daily, there are others out there who post Savage clips but not as often, one guy used to post the whole Savage show on youtube until KNEW cancelled the podcasts.

Considering Savage's preoccupation with the UK banning I find it hard to believe that SUDDENLY he would now worry over some of his show clips showing up on youtube. Just doesn't pass the Witt smell test, but yes with temperamental Savage anything is possible.

/Think I have heard McConnell occasionaly while on the road; but do not know if available in 'home market' (though actually, have never checked as save for Rush am usually on Fox News) but his warning a good one; and the analogy powerful as it rings all too true./

They may not be so bold - yet - as to take our first born; but no question, they are stealing the minds of our children; brainwashing the rest of American citizenry; and as they do so; implementing the kind of change that will facilitate their goals. The knock on our door could not be louder; the threat greater. Should they decide at some point to take that 'first born'; am afraid the child may be quietly, gratuitously, handed over.

We 'grow' our children and protect them; be it young adults who are now busy beginning and/or raising their children; or young college students just making their way out 'into the world'; or those just now, rising into 'higher education'; there seems to be a huge 'blank spot' on their awareness screen, where now, critical politics should be.

That may have been 'ok' a few years ago; but today, that 'blank spot' is a life-altering vulnerability. See way too many of these 'kids' who have yet to entertain a serious political thought. (And why would they, perhaps, given the rewards of their lives raised with such freedoms as they have only known.) Certainly many of their parents still not aware of how greatly our nation is threatened. . .

I think of the young woman; at town meeting in Pa; who had been touched by Obama-noxious politics; told her Representative that she had never before been interested in politics but that he had awakened her 'beast within'. It was a 'bravo' moment in what seems a very typical American life where there is a political void as concentration is focused on the challenges of raising babies and young children.

America would be well served; if all this young woman's peers were so awakened; but am afraid that too many are not and sadly, 'we' no longer have the luxury of time to wait for those spontaneous, but infrequent 'aha' moments and why I find myself wanting to grab these political 'blank slates' and shake them awake; while wanting everyone else to do the same! (An all too pathetic impulse that I do stifle, and perhaps too often; though I do always try to find opportunities to 'nudge'/lol/sigh. . .)

The wolf is at their door; the specter prowling their classrooms; their dorms; their 'starter homes'. . . and now, protecting them, means scaring them to death with the threat of consequences should they not 'wake up' to these grim political realities.

Should we not; and should 'they not'. . .am afraid for sure; the wolf will only have to knock once and be rewarded.

Why would he ask to be a youtube partner when he's posting other people's content?! Stupid is the first word that comes to mind. And since I've been on youtube for a couple of years, I have an idea of how it works.

This sums it up pretty well……..

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t
buy one.

If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he feels that no one
should have one.

If a conservative is a vegetarian,
he doesn’t eat meat.

If a liberal is, he wants to ban all meat
products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a
foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.

A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his
life.

If a liberal is homosexual, he loudly demands legislated
respect.

If a black man or Hispanic is conservative,
they see themselves as independently successful.

Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government
protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he
thinks about how to better his situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.

A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God or religion silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he
goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

A conservative will forward this to all his friends.

A liberal will try to have it banned from the Internet.

Exactly. Unless Savage himself authorized the “channel”, sounds like YouTube was just shutting down a high-profile large-scale copyright infringer.

YouTube is under a LOT of pressure to stop copyright infringement, which is so rampant by users thereon that a majority don’t even see there’s a problem - and to the contrary see it as a practical right.
