Veoh Victory, a Victory for Most!
A federal Judge has dismissed an infringement of copyright lawsuit against video sharing website Veoh. The case was brought by the IO group, which accused the website of having content that belonged to the group. Veoh sought refuge under the DCMA’S safe harbour provisions. In order to be protected under the provisions, the service provider must: have no knowledge of, or receive no benefit from the infringing activity; have a copyright policy which is readily available to users; and have a method in place for dealing with copyright issues.
Judge Howard R. Lloyd words were “The record presented demonstrates that, far from encouraging copyright infringement, Veoh has a strong DMCA policy, takes active steps to limit incidents of infringement on its Web site and works diligently to keep unauthorized works off its Web site,”
Io also reasoned the DMCA safe harbor was irrelevant since Veoh transcodes every uploaded video into Flash. But Judge Lloyd rejected this too.
The news is good for Veoh and oddly even better news for its competitor Youtube, the world’s largest video sharing website. Viacom launched a lawsuit against Google after it took over the video sharing website on the basis of copyright infringement. The lawsuit seeks $1billion in damages, and yesterday’s ruling does indicate that Google will have a strong case.
