Breaking: YouTube Wins Case Against Viacom

Viacom had sued YouTube for more than a billion dollars, arguing that the company was founded on pirated video content, much of it from Viacom properties.

In its decision, the court sided with Google, which argued that it was protected under the safe harbor provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

This is an important victory not just for us, but also for the billions of people around the world who use the web to communicate and share experiences with each other.
