4 Minute Roundup: YouTube Wins Court Case Against Viacom

In this week's 4MR podcast I consider the ruling in the YouTube vs. Viacom court case, with the judge essentially throwing out Viacom's $1 billion lawsuit. The judge believed that YouTube followed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's "safe harbor" provision, taking down videos that violated copyrights when the copyright holder gave it a take-down notice. Viacom said it would appeal the decision while YouTube called it a strike for content-sharing sites on the web. I talked to MediaShift legal correspondent Rob Arcamona to get his take.
