Benny Hinn has Youtube Vidoes Removed that Criticize Him

Benny Hinn has YouTube remove videos that criticize him





Independent Conservative, a blog operated by Darnell McGavock, reports that Benny Hinn and his organization have succeeded in getting YouTube to remove many videos critical of his teachings and practices.

Direct links to many of the videos now result in the display of a notice:

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Pastor Benny Hinn and the World Healing Church d/b/a Benny Hinn Ministries

Evangelist Benny Hinn is controversial for his frequently aberrant - and at times heretical - theology, his unorthodox practices, his lies, and his false prophecies — not to mention his love of money.

Using the DMCA to stifle criticism
Hinn and his business are claiming copyright infringement under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) — an ill-conceived and much criticized piece of legislation also misused by such cults as the Church of Scientology as well as cult-like businesses like Landmark Eduction, in their efforts to stifle criticism. [Scientology example | Landmark Education example]

Regarding the videos removed by YouTube, McGavock — whose own video regarding Hinn was removed as well — writes:

Some were videos that were of Benny Hinn, others were videos simply talking about Benny Hinn and for some odd reason some of the videos removed were not about and did not mention Benny Hinn at all, but were still removed and carry a notice that he asked for them to go. All vidoes removed exposed false teaching and examples of abuse from the pulpit.
- Source: YouTube Videos Removed by Benny Hinn via Use of Legal Force, DMCA

On his blog, McGavock keeps track of the list of videos YouTube has removed at the request of Benny Hinn.

Do You Believe in Miracles?
Among the videos removed was a copy of Do You Believe in Miracles, an expose broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s investigative documentary program, The Fifth Estate.

That documentary, which can be viewed in full at the CBC website, is still available via Google Videos.

It pays to watch the program, as it goes a long way toward explaining why Benny Hinn might not want you to see it:



The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s The Fifth Estate examines Benny Hinn.
The Many Faces of Benny Hinn
Another documentary about Benny Hinn, this one produced by the Trinity Foundation, is also still available via Google. Titled, The Many Faces of Benny Hinn, the latest updated version (over 6 hours of video) can be purchased from their online store.

This is the video Benny Hinn filed a lawsuit over. It is “… a unique blend of searing exposes by some of the world’s leading news organizations, the biting satire of Door TV’s Godstuff (as seen on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show) and Hinn’s own outrageous statements.”

In late 1999, Greg Hartman posted - in section of About.com that is no longer online - an interview with the editor of The Door. He later wrote an article in reply to some negative or incredulous reader feedback regarding that interview. It helps to know that The Door [in January, 2005 again renamed “The Wittenburg Door”] describes itself as “pretty much the only satirical Christian magazine in existence.” But it’s satire comes with a serious edge. As Hartman writes, the magazine is published by “The Trinity Foundation, a controversial evangelical watchdog group headquartered in Texas. Working in tandem, Trinity and The Door have been instrumental in several federal investigations of prominent televangelists — even sending one to prison.”

Hartman wrote:

Let me start by answering the question uppermost in everyone’s mind: Yes, she really says it. Suzanne Hinn really says ”You need a Holy Ghost enema” right in front of a packed house at Benny Hinn’s home church in Orlando, Fla. She also yells something incoherent about how women need to forget their high-heeled shoes, says that people-pleasers are ”butt-kissers,” and she really, truly actually says this: ”If you can’t get your motor started, you need a Holy Ghost enema right up your rear end!”
There’s a reason I got that out of the way right at the start: Because the Holy Ghost enema clip — for which The Door and Comedy Central are being sued by Hinn hisself — comes at the tail end (no pun intended) of ”The Many Faces of Benny Hinn,” which is three solid hours of some of the best investigative reporting I’ve ever seen.

There was a big deal made about the church of Scientology having youtube videos removed that were made by a man who was really wreaking havoc. The man had people emailing others to protest to youtube. Obviously youtube gets paid off for some of this sort of thing.

If YouTube was showing excerpts from Benny Hinn tv shows and not paying royalties, couldn't this be some kind of copyright violation?

There is the "fair use" clause that allows researchers and even parody comedians to use portions of another person's "work." YouTube is owned by Google, Inc., whose mantra is "First, do no evil..."

... but they end up doing evil things like suppressing dissent in China and Tibet, hiding torture in Burma, hosting Islamist and al Qaeda propaganda and supporting the work of the "Church" of Scientology.

YouTube "supports" the DCMA? Yeah right. And Batman is an ichthyologist.

I dont know if they got paid off...

But I do know the Church of Scientology is very lawsuit-happy. So to Youtube, it's easier to just remove the videos than deal with a potential lawsuit.

Oprah is like that too.
Her legal team is a beast when it comes to finding and removing Oprah-related content from Youtube.

I just saw the video Do You Believe in Miracles?"
Available right here:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...nny+hinn&hl=en


Very disturbing.
The video is kinda long (41 min) but right after the 19:32 point is where you can start to easily see that there's reason to have serious questions about Benny Hinn's ministry.

It's this kind of thing that hurts real and legit Godly ministry.
