YouTube Legal Woes Continue

YouTube Legal Woes Continue

Other content companies are piling on top of YouTube in the wake of Google's purchase (a defendant with huge cash reserves) and Viacom's monster $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit. Plaintiffs are now starting to seek class action status

New lawsuits have sprung up from the Football Association Premier League and Bourne Co., a large privately-held global publisher.

For its defense YouTube points to the DMCA, which provides a safe harbor to Internet service providers that remove infringing content upon notice. Plaintiffs however find those efforts ineffective as copyrighted content quickly reappears on the site.
