Then again, good ole Kent Hovind is in jail for tax evasion and his son is taking the charge. Though I would be careful to label creationists and atheist as pro-copyright/anti-copyright.

The flagging of the videos were used as a rather dirty tactic to prevent the spread of information.
No matter how you look at it, it does bring some interesting questions for the courts to consider should a lawsuit come out of this spat.
