Psychic Sued by Electronic Frontier Foundation

Apparently psychic, Uri Geller, can bend more than spoons. He has his nose bent out of shape after a critic posted video that he claims contains copyrighted material.
Psychic and spoon bender, Uri Geller, recently sued Brian Sapient for posting a 13-minute video on YouTube. Geller claims that the video contains three seconds of copyrighted material.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, who probably understands the Digital Millennium Copyright Act better than most of us, has jumped into action and is suing Psychic Geller on the grounds that three to ten seconds of video should be legally be considered 'fair use.'

The suit accuses Geller of misusing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by misrepresenting a copyright claim in order to prod YouTube to remove the video and suspend Sapient's ability to upload more critical videos.

"Uri Geller may not like it when people question his paranormal abilities. However, he is not allowed to stifle public criticism by misusing the law," said foundation attorney Marcia Hoffman. "If the publication of a video does not infringe his copyright, then he cannot block its use -- it's as simple as that." (SFGate.com)

Psychic Tip Helped US Locate Saddam ??

An Australian news source reports that paranormalist, Uri Geller, believes a psychic tip helped the US to locate Saddam Hussein three years ago. Why does he think so? Apparently Mr Geller worked for the CIA during the Cold War and has inside information on Technical Remote Viewers used by the United States.

"A soldier walked over to a rock, lifted it and then found a trapdoor - and found him in there," the famous Israeli-born spoon-bender said.

"I know that soldier walked to that rock because he got information from a 'viewer' in the US." (Geller)

It comes as no surprise that the US military has no comment.
