YouTube Deletes Copyrighted Clips
The U.S. online video service YouTube deleted nearly 30,000 files after a Japanese media group said the clips were pirated and violated copyright laws.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday that the request from the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers highlighted the mounting criticism of the proliferation of allegedly pirated material on YouTube, the California startup that was recently sold to Google for more than $1 billion.
YouTube users upload their homemade video clips onto the site featuring myriad subjects, but some videos -- including rock concerts and television shows -- are apparently being posted without the copyright holder's permission.
YouTube says users view more than 100 million video clips daily, and that they routinely delete clips that violate copyright laws. The site also insists it is not liable for the material posted on them by third parties since they did not "entice" users to violate copyright laws.
