YouTube has lost a court battle in Germany over copyrighted music posted in video clips, in a decision that may result in a sizable royalty bill. German royalty collection group GEMA convinced a court that YouTube has failed to protect copyrighted music sufficiently, requesting content filtering at the time of video upload.
Currently, YouTube takes a reactive approach to copyright infringement, taking action once a violation is flagged and not holding itself responsible for the content provided by users. A more active method advocated by GEMA would lead to videos being checked for copyright violations before the video gets posted for public viewing, leading to slower video processing times. »read more
