They just DMCA'd them. Lbry then changed the listing. You can go get everything from the blockchain if you put in the work. They just made it so you have to put in the work.

This is usually the case with most of these censorship resistant things. They have to comply with the law so they can never live up to the dream.

That is correct, we got a valid looking DMCA that was later disputed by the channel owner. It was unblocked. Then today, he deleted the channel and I haven't heard from him otherwise, so I'm not sure what's up.

When was the channel unblocked? It is disheartening to know that a company was able to silence legitimate criticism on all major platforms and even on places like LBRY.

Maybe he got frustrated with even LBRY being DMCAed. I know I would.
