Religion and Politics, should they mix?
I thought that was what a Jehovist theocracy meant: A one party state which you had to worship.
the pope stated at his un address that, "if it wasn't for the un's work on the world's conflicts, the world would be alot worse".
i just wonder how that statement will be taken in jw land.

Speeches by federal employees are in the public domain...Fair use does not allow [reproduction] in whole without the express permission
It all sounds reasonable. In any case the Watchtower did not decide to pursue the counter claims. One was done by Dustin [LuciousVBogeyman] and he actually made a video of him doing the counter claim.The wtbts of Pennsylvania probably felt it was not worth pursuing as they had accomplished the removal of most of the videos in any case.

What about fair use? This was not done without attribution and was primarily focused on news worthiness and education. Two YouTube users actually filed counter claims on the above basis and the wtbts did not follow up with legal action. Just for interest sake, wouldn't it be like the US president filing a DMCA for a transcript of the state of the union address?

The weird thing is they claimed copyright infringement on the transcript of a public talk.
Let me repeat: ...transcript of a PUBLIC talk.
The wtbts really did not want the overlapping generation being announced by anyone other than an official representative from a JW convention podium.

Hi LevelThePlayingField,
Yeah it was a mirror of the public talk introducing the overlapping generations. The original video poster who posted the transcript of the 2010 DC generation talk got flagged and he asked that it be mirrored by the ex-JW YouTube community in protest.
All the protesters got flagged by the wtbs of Pennsylvania.

Dunno about this site but on YouTube I got a DMCA from the Watchtower:
i keep seeing references to the 750 million in sales of the nyc properties and confusion around the apparent cash flow problems of the wtbt society.
here's the reality.
if they went, to a bank and asked for loans for the buildings here's what a bank would say, "absolutely.
Perhaps the answer might be cash flow. Wallkill could be costing them a lot more than they anticipated. They might already have taken loans on some of their their property's and now the banks are getting skittish about lending them more. Also because they have invested their past cash surpluses into long term funds it might exacerbate a possible cash flow problem.
Something is off here.
Could an investment or investment partner have caused a big loss for the beloved corporation?
