...that uri geller was still relevant. i mean, hasn't he been ridiculously embarrassed numerous times? including by frickin' joohnny carson?

well it seems he's still fighting to stay relevant. and now he's using one of the the newest forms of information control. :At issue is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, which makes it easy for Geller and others to persuade Internet companies to remove videos and music simply by sending so-called takedown notices that claim copyright ownership. Most companies, including YouTube do almost nothing to investigate the claims.
path of least resistance, m'friends. if youtube doesn't get too much shit for deleting shit that the person writing the notice didn't actually have a claim to? they'll keep doing it.

it seems geller is running around claiming copyright on anything that has him in it. including debunkings.

which is sad. because he's sad. why doesn't he just sit back and say "man, that was a good run. i totally had you guys goin' fer a sec." and be done with it?

censorship, dmca, bullshit, uri geller
