저작권 소송에서 구글의 Youtube가 Viacom을 상대로 승소

Google's YouTube wins Viacom copyright case

Viacom had accused Google of "massive intentional copyright infringement".

But the judge said Google and YouTube could not be held liable merely for having a "general awareness" that videos might be posted illegally.

Media conglomerate Viacom said it planned to appeal against the decision.

But District Judge Louis Stanton said in his ruling: "Mere knowledge of prevalence of such activity in general is not enough. The provider need not monitor or seek out facts indicating such activity."
