The DMCA Situation

Over the past two months I have been making a series of videos critical of the documentary House of Numbers. I gave examples of how the documentary edited people mid-sentence to change the meaning of what they are saying, lied about the sequence and dates of a series of HIV tests in order to convince people that the tests are useless, and missed out vital information about the death of a little girl from AIDS related illnesses, but allowed her now deceased mother to tell people the documentary not to take their anti-viral medication. These videos are non-profit and made for educational purposes and fall well within fair use, yet over the past week, multiple DMCAs have been filed against them.

The first DMCA filed against me was from Liam Scheff who starred in part 5 of my video series. Liam believes that my videos are not protected under fair use because they are not made for educational purposes, but instead for propaganda. Over the last week, Liam has been constantly posting on my Facebook and has called me a retard, a cunt, a little bitch and, of course, a paid shill. Yet at the same time believes that I have been slandering him. What is also bizarre is that even though Liam has made it clear of his intentions to drag me through the courts, at the same time he does not think I am a real person but part of Myles Power inc. Liam later went on to remove his DMCA, but by filing it in the first place he has left himself open to legal action.

As soon as part 5 was restored, it was taken immediately down by Martin Penny and the people at Knowledge Matters, who then decided to file 2 more DMCA takedowns against part 1 and 2. I want to take this time to remind people that there are multiple copies of House of Numbers uploaded to YouTube. If Martin Penny and the people at Knowledge Matters truly thought I was infringing copyright, then why are they not going after people who uploaded the entire movie? It is very clear that these people are trying to silence my criticism. For those who don’t know, Martin Penny is the Executive Producer of House of Numbers and a multimillionaire from Leeds who used to be the CEO of GHD. What’s interesting is that Martin is now a chairman at OHS Ltd – one of the leading health, safety and environmental consultancies who have worked for the NHS.

To recap, one of the chairmen for a company that advises the NHS is an AIDS denialist who is actively trying silence me.

If you think this is unacceptable can I ask that you share my story to anyone who will listen.

Thank you

Myles

  1. Myles, just follow the legal procedure. It is really simple. If you choose to pursue it further, you may get some satisfaction through courts. Check out what EFF made Michael Crook do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i76PEIdtJm8

    The typical DLP projector runs on the spinning color wheel to reproduced the purple, natural, blue
    hues, which for many individuals produces an embarrassing impact of seeing “rainbows” for the duration of bright scenes.

    Install it running diagonally through the lower latch fringe of the door up toward the top of hinge edge.
    After all, they don’t desire to track
    dirt with an interior rug or wood floor.
