YouTube's no friend to copyright violators - You're Responsible For Uploads
People posting copyright material on YouTube shouldn't be surprised if the company makes no effort to protect them in a copyright battle. The video-sharing site may hand over information on those who post video clips of movies and TV shows if they're accused of copyright infringement, something perhaps not well known by those who do so.
That YouTube will not cover up for accused lawbreakers shouldn't come as a surprise. The company has consistently said that it will obey the law and that it doesn't want copyright material on its site. That message is spelled out in YouTube's user agreement, as well as in a computer prompt that appears before a person uploads a clip. The company also says it removes clips once notified of a copyright violation. But YouTube owes much of its early fame to the unauthorized posting of movie and TV show clips.
