But I'm not at all unhappy they ran this story, in that I think this topic needs to be out there for discussion at all levels. What makes me uncomfortable is that it seems to me like some of these shows, particularly "Today Tonight" and "A Current Affair" often behave very much like 'The Church of Scientology,' in that they often hunt down people who talk against them, and try to drag their name into the ground. They even do so to each-other, and even to comedy programs on other networks which parody them. PS. Maybe watermark the final release videos of the Beghe interview, so people can see credit where it's due. and be mindful of watermark positioning or they'll simply crop it out!

I have only recently started getting interested in the Anon v Scamatology war following a posting I saw from someone on Facebook. I then started asking questions - why are they protesting? Why the masks? Are anon terrorists or just activists? And what is Scientology? Am not a fan of TC, he destroyed the movie War of teh Worlds for me but after spending hours and hours on the net researching (both sides of the story - reading sci's side and anon's) I have come to the conclusion that sci believe that they can blind any and all people to their tactics! Sorry dudes!!! The internet has arrived!!! (or, to take that fantastic picket sign from one of the pickets - 'OH FUCK, THE INTERNET IS HERE' or something to that effect). Just so you know, they are opening a Johannesburg (South Africa) branch and a few people want to protest. Get word out to all the guys in SA (my home country) to get their butts to Kyalami Castle for a peaceful picket!!! And WBM - I absolutely love you!! I think that if we had more people like you in the world, willing to take a risk and expose the truth, the world would be a better place! Scientology IS A CULT!!! Guys,

That its a good place to host your videos to get the most publicity and watchers. Looking at the my personal situation for example, if I want to find some clip online the first usual places that i go to are Youtube and Google sites. Though ofcourse theres many more options but probably not that well known worldwide. The reason the video aint here would probably be that this site isnt in itself meant to host videos/files hence theyre linked to this page from Youtube/Google that host the actual videos. Using a video hosting site just makes the whole releasing of videos easier opposed to doing it yourself.

Please explain if I am being a dunce (which is likely). I don’t quite understand why it’s so important for the interview to be on you tube, why can’t you just put it up here.

Their bannings will impact their market share. The entire site is based around viral ideas and memes. How long before people decide to go somewhere else? I don't think google would be happy to see their audience go to the competition. Youtube and Scamatology are creating their own bad press. Youtube should be careful.
