Google's YouTube Subsidiary Beats Viacom in Court
Judge Louis Stanton:
"The provider must know of the particular case before he can control it. The provider need not monitor or seek out facts indicating such activity."Viacom, the owner of MTV Networks and Paramount Pictures, maintained that Google bought YouTube knowing full well that the site was guilty of copyright infringement but turned a blind eye to users' violations. It asked for damages of $1 billion in its lawsuit. (CNNMoney, 6/23/2010)
