Kent Hovind/friends/family earned a whole section devoted to themselves here when "Creation Science Evangelism Ministries" sent numerous copyright take down notices to Youtube (9-07) claiming copyright ownership of material that we and many others believe is fair use within the boundaries of copyright law. In addition to 20+ videos that we can find that were removed from youtube due to copyright claims there were over a dozen others that we were able to count that were removed due to "terms of use violation" as opposed to a copyright violation. We are unsure how those videos were removed and are suspicious. Fair use law respects ones right to criticize, parody, satire, and commentate on material while utilizing material from the person who is being spoken about.

Kent Hovind has stated many times that "our material is not copyrighted." In September 2007, about the same time that "Creation Science Evangelism Ministries" sent DMCA take down notices, their website was changed to reflect a new copyright rule for their website. On their website in September of 2007 they in fact present their copyright on material effective as of January 2005. This new change to their website can be documented here. As you can see, they did not have the "clickable" copyright notice on any page of their site as of any other date!

Considering that every video we have seen that was banned would fit within fair use law and the "Creation Science Evangelism Ministries" have been very upfront about their non copyright, we believe that the actions of "Creation Science Evangelism Ministries" are meant to silence critics that can prove their unscientific statements... well... unscientific. We feel as if this act to silence us should be countered.

As a result of actions taken by "Creation Science Evangelism Ministries" we believe that it is our duty to ensure that humanity is ten times more familiar with the holes in the teachings of CSEM than they would be, were CSEM never to have submitted those take down notices. We believe that our right to free speech is the most important right we have, which has already been squandered too much over the years. This right affects all of us equally.

Our right to speak out about the irrationality of religion is the same right you are afforded to speak about exactly the opposite. We don't think people want to live in a world in which you are not afforded those rights, and so therefore this is an issue that transcends any argument either side will ever make for, or against any God. We are proud to be aware of at least one Christian who has offered to stand by our side if our facts are accurate. He understands the issue, as he's been there before.

Many of the videos below are available for distribution. Many of the comments sections will state if you can download the video and reupload it. Any Revver video on our account dealing with Kent Hovind can be uploaded to your account on any file service. We won't claim copyright ownership of that material later, or submit false claims, or change the wording right here on this page.. and we actually mean it!

mod note: don't add multiples of the same video, add each new video as a new page, use lots of tags, attribute owners, cut and paste video description, additionally do not post fresh Eric Hovind (9-07) material as we are unsure if they could attain copyright from this point forward.
