Copyright Used To Attempt To Silence Criticism of Religious Prophecies

Can copyright laws be used to stifle legitimate criticism of a religion's beliefs? A press release today from Watchtower Whistleblower traces attempts by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania to shut down a website that carried quotes from past Jehovahs Witness publications in order to show that Witness' prophecies had not come true. After halting operations for a few days last month, the website, http://quotes.watchtower.ca is back in operation, at least for the time being.
