Another Judge With Good Sense

Yet another judge has ruled that online websites such as Veoh are not guilty of copyright infringement for videos uploaded by its users. The judge ruled the DMCA's safe harbor protect sites such as Veoh. An adult video entertainment firm, Io, brought the lawsuit. IO was upset that Veoh's users kept uploading clips from its films. As the judge noted, Veoh followed all the rules necessary under the DMCA to avoid liability, although this doesn't mean that the individuals doing the uploading aren't liable. Google is very happy over the outcome of this case, noting: "It is great to see the Court confirm that the DMCA protects services like YouTube that follow the law and respect copyrights."
