Stop the Falsiness

The petition criticising "The Colbert Report" from moveon.org has recently entered another realm of free speech and legislation. As reported on chillingeffects.org, the authors of the parody short hosted at the falsiness website have filed suit agains media giant Viacom for demanding that YouTube remove the offending video with a DMCA claim, when the authors were clearly within their rights with self-evident fair use.

All the more power to them. Hopefully they will put a kink in Viacom's rampage of illegal DMCA takedown notices AND expose Stephen Colbert for what he really is. My test of truth: if you haven't been banned by the Chinese Government then you are either irrelevant or lying.

Get banned, Stephen, I dare you.
