Universal Music Lose Court Battle to Veoh
Over the holidays Universal Music Group lost a major lawsuit to online video sharing site Veoh. Much like the many lawsuits flying around between the major labels and music 2.0 companies that enable fans to upload content, Universal sought to make Veoh responsible for any copyright violations the fan may have incurred – like the time you added Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” as a sondtrack to the home video of you throwing your kid brother down a flight of stairs. Viacom and YouTube locked in a court similar battle that promises to be the the clash of the titans on this issue.
