Huker - Poor YouTube, where are you going

After Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in October last year, it has been striving to establish partnerships with traditional media companies. "There is no doubt that we will launch copyright protection technology," said Eric, CEO of Google in an interview. "This plan has already been ranked as the top priority in the company's future plans." During the interview with Reuters, Mr. Eric revealed: "I checked the company's schedule, and the release of anti-piracy technology will be very soon, without a long wait."

Since YouTube became popular, there have been various concerns about its copyright issues. Although some analysts say not to take this problem too seriously, copyright issues have indeed caused a lot of trouble for YouTube.

1. Viacom Inc., a giant in the American entertainment industry, sued YouTube because video materials copyrighted by the company were played on YouTube without authorization, causing serious damage to Viacom's interests. They also demanded that YouTube compensate them with $1 billion.

2. Australia banned students from accessing YouTube to prevent online violence.

3. YouTube deleted 30,000 videos infringing on Japanese copyrights.

4. A website with a similar name and pronunciation, uTube, sued YouTube.

5. The private video of Brazilian model Daniela Cicarelli and her boyfriend Tato Malzoni was uploaded to the site by someone. Although YouTube removed the video segment to calm them down, netizens persisted in re-uploading the video. Unable to bear it any longer, Cicarelli and Malzoni took YouTube to court. The court ruled in their favor and ordered YouTube to shut down.

6. Viacom sued Google and YouTube for infringement and claimed $1 billion in damages.

Now, NBC Universal and News Corporation in the United States have reached agreements.
