Google Scores a Big Victory for BitTorrent Sites

Breaking Judgment in Google’s Youtube Copyright Court Case

Google has won its court case against Viacom, where it was facing a $1 billion claim for allowing users to upload copyrighted clips to YouTube. The landmark case is expected to have a major impact on future cases dealing with the responsibilities of the operators of user-generated media libraries, including BitTorrent sites.

google bay Google Scores a Big Victory for BitTorrent SitesOver the past years Google has been battling in court with Viacom over the question of whether YouTube is protected against copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Louis Stanton granted Google’s motion for summary judgment, ruling that Google is protected by the DMCA’s safe harbor provision. Effectively, this means that YouTube doesn’t have to remove any clips unless they are asked to do so by copyright holders.

“If a service provider knows of specific instances of infringement, the provider must promptly remove the infringing material. If not, the burden is on the owner to identify the infringement. General knowledge that infringement is ‘ubiquitous’ does not impose a duty on the service provider to monitor or search its service for infringements,” Judge Stanton wrote.

In a response, Google claimed the judgment to be a victory…

Hack the Planet: Hacker Rigs Road Sign to Rock On!

Those Those About to Hack, We Salute You!

hackedroadsigns thumb Hack the Planet: Hacker Rigs Road Sign to Rock On!

In Stevens Point Wisconsin, A digital construction sign along a central Wisconsin interstate has been flashing a rock-inspired passionate message to passing motorists. The sign near Stevens Point spelled out "Danger Danger," "High Voltage," "When We Touch, "When We Kiss," to rush-hour drivers Thursday. The words are borrowed from the song "Danger! High Voltage" by the Detroit-based rock band Electric Six. quote: modbee

James Bierman, co-owner of Central State Signing, says a hacker must have changed the message board.

The black and orange construction sign was placed on Interstate 39 because the state Department of Transportation contracted with United Painting of Forest Junction to repaint several overpasses in the area.

AP – This combo of four photos provided by WAOW-TV shows a digital construction sign that flashes "Danger Danger," "High Voltage," "When We Touch, "When We Kiss" for passing motorists on Thursday May 27, 2010 along southbound Interstate 39 near Stevens Point in central Wisc. Apparently a prankster was feeling a touch romantic or was inspired by some rock lyrics when he or she tampered with the sign. The words are actually some borrowed lyrics from the Detroit-based Electric Six rock band and its song "Danger! High Voltage." (waow.com)
