It's pure censorship: using the law to force the removal of your opponents' views."

...someone who has it and claims they don't, or someone who, for whatever bizarre reason, claims that there's no such thing?

The aids deniers in the "documentary" claim that there is not enough evidence about HIV and its link to AIDS, so they more or less claim, that HIV/AIDS is a myth.

Its the HIV AIDS version of the guy who walks around saying "correlation isn't causation" constantly.
One is a virus. The other is a vast array of inevitably fatal symptoms. Its accidentally a remarkably insightful observation, because it does seem true that a huge quantity of dangerous and expensive drugs can reduce or eliminate the causation regardless of the correlation. Or in summary, its possible to reduce or eliminate the symptoms without getting rid of the seemingly unkillable virus.
Most of the time for most people, rather than being a scientific observation, it just means the denier is a complete nutcase. That's also merely a correlation, not a causation.
