Video Ruling May Not Aid YouTube’s Case
While YouTube cheers a Northern District of California ruling in a case mirroring its own fight against Viacom, some IP lawyers doubt that the win by video-sharing site Veoh will have much bearing on YouTube's battle in a New York court. In the California case, a judge ruled that Veoh wasn't liable when users uploaded porn clips owned by the Io Group, finding that, because the video site worked hard at policing content, it was protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's safe-harbor provision.
