NEW YORK - Google Inc. on Monday filed a response to Viacom Inc.'s copyright infringement lawsuit over Google's massively popular video-sharing sharing site YouTube, arguing that the site's activities are legal.
Viacom had sued Google on March 13, claiming that YouTube has used digital technology to "willfully infringe copyrights on a huge scale," facilitating the unauthorized viewing of many pieces of Viacom's programing from MTV, Comedy Central and other networks, such as "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
In a response filed in federal court in New York late Monday, Google said that YouTube respects the importance of copyrights and goes above and beyond what is required under the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which gives Web hosts protection from copyright lawsuits so long as they comply with requests to remove unauthorized material.
YouTube says its cooperates with holders of copyrights and immediately complies with requests to have unauthorized material removed from the site.
And they respond FEH. Nothing goes on there anyway but stealing of TV shows so "the tube" is so dead.
Yep without the copyrighten material it will soon be down the... I think they should spend a little money on some ads featuring some of the things they have on the site plus maybe throw a little word or two in them about respecting copyrights...
