Psychic spoon-bender Uri Geller has popped back up into the collective Internet eye, with a Boing Boing story claiming Geller…
…has been using the DMCA to force YouTube to remove videos that debunk his stunts (which include bending spoons and locating hidden objects.) By law, only the copyright holder of a video can make a Web site owner remove a video.
The only bright spot is that Geller’s actions to suppress criticism may expose him to legal liability (provided that one of his victims has the resources and will to fight this litigious spoon-bender).
As would be expected, James ‘The Amazing’ Randi – Geller’s arch-nemesis – has posted gleefully about the current goings-on.
