This isn’t the first time the DMCA has been abused.
Gordon Klingenschmitt, the former US Navy chaplain who was court-martialed and drummed out of the Navy, has been doing a radio and TV show, in which he regularly spews bigoted, homophobic vitriol.
Naturally, this attracted the attention of Right Wing Watch, which has been regularly putting up clips of him at his nuttiest.
For a time, Klingenschmitt had Right Wing Watch’s Youtube account suspended, by making bogus DMCA claims, but RWW had enough money and supporters to get some lawyers to file counterclaims and get reinstated.
