Video sharing under fire
Last week Universal Music filed a suit against two video-sharing sites – Grouper and Bolt – alleging copyright violations. Because anybody can post almost anything to such sites, their operators have little control of what appears on them and rely on the record industry to inform them when copyright is being infringed.
But with tens of thousands of videos being posted each week that’s an impossible task. With the recording industry seeking fines of $150 000/infringement, pundits are wondering whether Google’s deep pockets may be too much of a temptation.
