Back in March we analyzed how Viacom’s lawsuit against video content giant YouTube was bound to fail.
Sure enough, the court has adjourned and the decision is pro-YouTube: the Google company “… is protected by the safe harbor of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) against claims of copyright infringement…”
What this means: YouTube cannot be held liable when you post your favorite World Cup 2010 videos on YouTube, although they will remove them as soon as they are aware of it.
