A YouTube Lawsuit! Gee, didn’t see that one coming.

July 20th, 2006 by The Oracle Alchemist

YouTube.com, a magical place where anyone can upload and tag any movie they want with no screening process.

Read that sentence again if you don’t see where some people in the public may have a problem with this.

According to an article on ZDNet, a journalist and helicopter pilot are suing due to videos on YouTube.com that violate a copyright.

Now, I’ve always been of the mindset that it’s not YouTube’s fault if people violate their policies by uploading illegal content, but when it comes to the interwebs it seems that the courts will usually side with the copyright holder in these cases…then again, I don’t try to keep up with intricacies of the court system and therefore am no one to judge (no pun intended). I’d just hate to see YouTube go by the way of the dodo, it really is a great site and a load of fun.
