In other news, I like where This is going. In short: guy posts video on YouTube criticizing psychic. Psychic sends a take-down notice to YouTube citing DCMA; YouTube takes down video and suspends guy's account. Guy sends counter-claim to YouTube, saying Psychic has no authority to order a take-down under DCMA. Guy and Some Organization turn this counter-claim into a suit against psychic for "abuse of DCMA." If we can get precedent on the books for something like abuse of the DCMA, I think that's a step in the right direction.

Oh, this isn't just any psychic, either! Uri Geller has been a favorite target of the skeptic crowd for decades, and rightfully so. If charlatans had a nation, Uri would be their king. I'm not surprised the crazy old spoonbender's pulling this stunt, a fit epilogue to a truly ignoble career.
