This is truth- DMCA claims come down to whoever's lawyer is better, basically. We run an online business and have firsthand experience with this as a product of our design was taken down by a claim made by a competitor that the intellectual property belonged to him. It did not, btw, and we did eventually win and have our item restored. Pretty much anyone can file a claim with a platform (be it a sales platform or social media) and say, "this is mine" and that platform will remove the disputed item due to the claim, NOT due to any proof or documentation. Then as the fight progresses it can be restored or not- sometimes multiple times- depending on how the fight goes. So until the fight over this video is over, you can't really know anything based on the DMCA claims and even then it may be just who ran out of money first, not actual legal proof.

My gut tells me that Stone has been bad in the past, but I'm willing to give him a chance basically because of the Christians he's speaking with and what he is saying and doing NOW. I am a Christian and I'm sure that that has something to do with my opinion, but I'm always happy to see anyone make a change. Believing that if someone does something bad or have been bad at one time that they'll always BE bad goes against the very basis of Christianity and forgiveness. We can all be redeemed and change. It may be a ploy on his part, it may not be a ploy- I don't know. I'm not God. It's not for me to cancel someone who may be trying to do better without seeing how things play out. To me it seems like he's been awfully attacked by the left and and is very much still hated by them, so he has to pose at least some sort of threat to them somehow. Maybe it's what he knows, maybe it's something else. But I'll choose to extend a chance to someone who is publicly trying to do better until I see recent evidence that it's false, not something that is years old, whether it's real or not.
