Veoh Court Victory May Be Bad Sign for Viacom - YouTube infringement case may have gotten weaker

Google is in the midst of a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Viacom for YouTube violations of copyright infringement. Google hopes that a recent ruling in the favor of video site Veoh will mean good things for the YouTube case. In both the Veoh case (filed by porn company Io after the company’s adult films were found on the Veoh site) and the YouTube case, the defendants’ believe that they are not responsible for hosting liabilities because of a “safe harbor” clause in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. These sites are simply service providers that have to do minimal things to make sure that copyright isn’t violated. The court has ruled that this is true in the case of Veoh.

Veoh Wins Copyright Infringement Lawsuit; Viacom-YouTube Next?

No, this isn’t the big one, but nonetheless an important precedent: A federal judge in San Jose ruled today that video-sharing site Veoh was not liable for copyrighted material uploaded to its site, dismissing an early 2006 case filed against it by Io Group, an adult video firm. The site pleaded its defense under the “safe harbor� provisions of DMCA copyright law, which meant it could be safe as long as it removed the infringing video when alerted by the copyright holder, which the judge said that Veoh was doing. Meanwhile Veoh’s suit against Universal Music Group is still going on.
