The Landmark Forum (see background at http://www.rickross.com/groups/landmark.html), a group related to Scientology and EST, has hit Google, YouTube and the Internet Archive with a DMCA demand. They want to know who uploaded a 2004 news program expose on their activities which led to their leaving France.
This stunning video, which had a person attend a Landmark indoctrination weekend equipped with hidden cameras, was aired to 1.5 million people on national TV. Within weeks Landmark pulled out of France with claims of abuse and unpaid labour.
The EFF is backing Google in this, claiming that Landmark is trying to silence critics. The three sites have removed the 450 MB video but the cat is out of the bag and available through BitTorrent or for online viewing at the Cult Awareness and Information Centre site.
French audio, ENGLISH SUBS.
