Good News: Michael Moore’s propagandist documentary “Planet of the Humans” has been taken off YouTube due to a copyright infringement. Kudos to Toby Smith, who does not approve of the context in which his material is being used. Smith filed the complaint to YouTube on 23 May after discovering Planet of the Humans used 4 seconds of footage from his Rare Earthenware project detailing the journey of rare earth minerals from Inner Mongolia.
