I just wanted to hop in here and say I know for a fact Alex Jones has said hundreds of times over the years to re-host his content, re-upload his content, spread his content, torrent his content, etc.
Alex Jones DOES specifically tell everyone who watches that they have full permission to do that. Maybe you were not aware of that, especially if you don't watch his stuff or have only seen it every now and then.
I check out infowars every so often and have caught Alex Jones saying everyone has permission to use his content.
Unless you are able to provide evidence that contradicts what I know, what other users in our group know about it(as I have confirmed it with them too just to be sure), and what @xsmith knows, then we don't have any issue with upvoting these posts as long as they add their own commentary/a few paragraphs of their thoughts on the specific reupload.
@xsmith in the future for reuploading these or rehosting content that is allowed by the creator, if you would like the @informationwar curation upvote please write down your thoughts on the subject/video and give your take on it, so that is becomes a trans-formative work.
I think that solves the issue on both sides ;)
Thanks!
Yes, I have no problems with video play with original content added in like commentary or muting and speaking over commercials after the bit has been done by Alex.
You saw the exact point I was trying to make him see, simply streaming Alex Jones is lazy and is not original content.
As I stated, the problem is not with Alex Jones and I support users with delegation who love him and they in turn delegate to the @informationwar account. None of this was ever about Alex Jones.
