YouTube Lacked Sufficient Knowledge of Infringement of Viacom Content, Motion for Summary Judgment Says

摘要

Viacom has failed to prove that YouTube had sufficient knowledge of clips on the site that infringednViacom’s copyrights, YouTube said in a motion for summary judgment (http://bit.ly/10aRldq) innU.S. District Court in New York. The case against the Google-owned video site was remanded by the 2ndnU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year. According to YouTube’s motion, Viacom issued 100,000 DigitalnMillennium Copyright Act takedown notices, followed by the lawsuit, after negotiations to acquire ornpartner with YouTube stalled in 2007. In an opposition to the motion (http://bit.ly/13GvOyr), Viacomnsaid YouTube had a willful blindness to the infringement.
