Prof. Jim Gibson on Viacom v. YouTube
Professor Gibson writes in the latest issue of the Media Institute’s “Intellectual Property Issues” series, “Viacom v. YouTube is a hugely important case. It pits the world’s fourth-biggest media company against Internet behemoth Google, which purchased YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion. The latest ruling finds that YouTube’s core business – the storage, searching, and transmission of user-uploaded video – does not violate copyright law, as long as YouTube expeditiously removes unauthorized copyrighted material when it becomes aware of it.” Gibson lays out the argument that the outcome of the decision is ‘correct’ and says the ruling should be affirmed on appeal.
