The magazines are freely handed out, how can they start suing people for using text/images from a free publication? Add the fact that Youtube is a centre for free speech, I don't see how this would work for WT. They don't have a case.
If you got apostate vids on Youtube take em off now!!! Legal Dept to Sue!

Sorry smithmandy1, I think people would take you more seriously if you'd been around a bit longer, and made more of a contribution to the forum.

WTS will never take legal action. In order to prove slander, they would have to be willing to have their beliefs scrutinized publicly.

just to get us to shut up about it

What I said on the other thread:
I'm sure Band on the Run could shed some light on the legal issues, but I think it unlikely that the WTBS would so. First, it can't be libel if you're using their own material. It could be a copyright violation, but if youtube is taking down the videos when notified of the violation, the issue has been addressed.
If they did sue, the real fun would start in discovery. The defendants can ask all the questions they want, and ask for all the materials they want. They could, for example, ask for a copy of every article or talk outline containing "1975." The production would be costly and the results create more problems than the suit would solve. From a PR standpoint, there best bet is to lay low.
