A group of film-making media companies, has accused the Internet giant Google in collaboration with the owners of sites offering users to download pirated video, reports eWEEK.com. Google intends to solve the case amicably.
News Corp., Viacom, Sony, Time Warner, Walt Disney and NBC Universal (a division of General Electric) have accused the Internet giant Google of working with website owners that provide visitors with access to pirated video.
In the period from 2003 to 2005, Google provided significant support to Brandon Dryury and Luke Sample, who some time ago large film studios accused of piracy. Drewry and Sample owned resources EasyDownloadCenter.com and TheDownloadPlace.com and offered visitors to illegally download movies from the archives of sites.
Attracted by the unusually high level of traffic to Google sites, it appears to have agreed to cooperate with the owners of pirated resources. For 3 years, he received a total of about $ 809 thousand for advertising posted by sites in a search engine.

Google plans to resolve the situation amicably agreeing with major television and film studios on the use of their video content. The Internet search engine will have to pay special attention to the content of the YouTube site recently acquired for $ 1.65 billion, about which the right holders are already grumbling.
Google will reject all advertisements that are objectionable to the media industry, lawyers said the search engine. The company will also compile a list of "approved" advertisers and refuse to sell keywords used by pirated sites to attract visitors. All employees of Google’s advertising sales departments are recommended to refuse such clients in the future.
