YouTube defeats Viacom copyright lawsuit. For the second time in the past three years, YouTube has beaten Viacom in a long-running copyright infringement case that accused the video-sharing site of turning a blind eye to illegally uploaded videos.
U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton granted the Google-owned video site's request for summary judgment on Thursday, agreeing that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's "safe harbor" provisions protected YouTube from liability. Viacom, parent company of Paramount Pictures and MTV, filed a $1 billion lawsuit in 2007, accusing YouTube of encouraging copyright infringement and profiting when users upload unauthorized TV and movie clips. Google argued that the DMCA's safe harbor provision protected it and other Internet service providers from being held responsible for copyright infringements committed by users. Stanton sided with YouTube in 2010 , but Viacom appealed the ruling to the 2nd U.S. Google welcomed the ruling, calling it a victory for all Internet users. Google again beats Viacom in YouTube lawsuit.

Legal Stuff. Tumbler Lawsuit. Other. Question for readers on publishing email. So sometimes, as you know, we get email.
Sometimes we publish the email. PZ Myers has been doing it for years. And before I was a blogger, I used to publish every piece of email that I got from my web page response to Amway. (I no longer do this, but I've set up a guest book to let people self-publish their feedback.) Because I am such a polite heathen, I usually ask people's permission before posting the text of an exchange on a blog, and I will generally honor someone's request to have their stuff taken down. But recently I had a reason to go and look up the law, and I was surprised by what I found. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know all the details all that well.
I don't think we'd ever be taken to court for it -- after all, just look how much Something Awful routinely gets away with for comedy purposes. I've said repeatedly that I do not claim any of the images I post here unless they are mine - MiseryXchord.
