Reagan files copyright claim in attempt to get Mark Dice death threat
removed

Thursday, June 19, 2008
Talk show host Michael Reagan
files copyright infringement claim to prevent audio clip of him calling
for the murder of anti-war activist from circulating the Internet
(San Diego, CA) Last week, radio talk show host
Michael Reagan called for his listeners to track down and murder anti-war
activist, Mark Dice. After Dice downloaded the show's free podcast and
posted the 3 minute and 21 second clip on YouTube, Reagan filed a copyright
infringement claim to remove the clip in an attempt to prevent it from
circulating.
Friday June 13th Dice received a call from Reagan's producer demanding
the clip be removed, claiming they hold the copyright, and Dice explained
that it falls under fair use laws, and the clip is evidence of a crime.
The clip was available at the following URL, until Wednesday June 18th
at 3:43pm Pacific Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdJO-kUINMs Reagan
also removed the entire hour of his show from his podcast directory
so others can't download that part of his show and hear his statements.
Hour number two of the June 10th show is now missing from the directory,
located at http://www.radioamerica.org/POD_mrp.htm
Audio clips of Reagan's statements may still be available on other YouTube
accounts if someone searches for it. Dice has a copy of the podcast,
and will make it available to reporters upon request.
Reagan's statements were made after he heard that Dice and others were
sending letters and DVDs to troops stationed in Iraq which support the
idea that U.S. officials allowed the 9/11 attacks to happen on purpose
and aided in their execution for political leverage. According to a
2006 Scripts Howard News Service poll, 36% of Americans believe this.
Transcript of Reagan's statements:
"Excuse me folks, I'm going to say this. We ought to find the people
who are doing this, take them out and shoot them. Really. You take them
out, they are traitors to this country, and shoot them. You have a problem
with that? Deal with it. You shoot them. You call them traitors, that's
what they are, and you shoot them dead. I'll pay for the bullets.”
Reagan continued, "How about you take Mark Dice out and put him
in the middle of a firing range. Tie him to a post, don't blindfold
him, let it rip and have some fun with Mark Dice.”
The statements were made June 10th and came to Dice's attention a few
days later. Dice immediately filed a report with the FBI, the FCC, and
is considering legal action against Reagan.
He is demanding that Reagan be fired immediately. "Calling for
the murder of someone because you disagree with their political stance
is absolutely unacceptable, un-American, and illegal,” says Dice.
Radio America, which syndicates Reagan's show, told Dice that no disciplinary
action will be taken.
Reagan called Dice and apologized but Dice says, "The Pandora's
box that Reagan has opened can never be closed. The ramifications of
his threats and suggestions are enormous and frightening. In an age
where a few clicks of a keyboard can result in anyone's home address
being found, his comments open the door for stalking, vandalism, and
worse.”
"What kind of a country have we become when a radio host with millions
of listeners can call for the murder of someone, and not lose their
job?” Dice asks. "He didn't say that he hoped I am killed, or that
he thought I should be killed, he specifically said I should be found
and shot, and that he would pay for the bullets. This is a violation
of California's penal code 422.”
Dice's entire YouTube account, over 60 of his videos have been deleted.
His channel was www.YouTube.com/TheResistance and had thousands of subscribers
and his videos had been viewed over a million times.
Dice is the author of a book titled, The Resistance Manifesto, which
details how people involved in secret societies hold tremendous power
in American politics. He has been featured in major media outlets around
the world for various issues ranging from political activism to boycotts
and pop culture criticism.
