YouTube clones will pay $ 150 thousand for each pirated file
Universal Music Group media company filed lawsuits against video services Grouper and Bolt, accusing them of illegally distributing video clips over the Internet. This process can be considered as a potential precedent in a possible trial with YouTube .
Representing the interests of well-known performers, the company requires damages from websites. If Universal wins, the owners of Grouper and Bolt will have to pay $ 150,000 for each unlicensed video.
Bolt representatives claim that copyrighted materials are removed from the site base as they are discovered. Officials Grouper so far refrained from commenting.
