Viacom’s Copyright Suit vs YouTube
I once had a video taken down by YouTube. Viacom had said that the music was their copyright, so YouTube had just taken it down without even contacting me until it was gone. I had filmed the video myself and used royalty free music from my video production library (and certainly not Viacom). I was told I had to show it was not violating T&Cs. So I read the below story and others like it to come out recently with interest.
The U.S. District Court has just made public the documentation in the controversial Viacom vs. YouTube case. It’s a goldmine of data, most of which is really dirty mud-slinging by Viacom, based on internal emails from YouTube’s past. Link to original story
