Source: Site Pro NewsThe Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) “safe harbor” protects online service providers from copyright infringement claims based on infringing posts on blogs and forums by users. Prior to the Second Circuit’s ruling, the DMCA “safe harbor” was viewed as virtually bullet proof. Not so, anymore.
This was an ongoing battle between Viacom and Youtube. Viacom was suing Youtube for copyright infringement and for knowing that their users were adding the content to Youtube.
That is not the real issue here though Do you take the necessary steps to avoid being in a similar situation? Or do you think that using the "safe harbour" loophole in the DMCA will help when you are found to have duplicate content on your site.
Or, do you think the only reason why this is even mentioned is because Youtube is so popular.
Read through the post, I would love to hear your comments.
