Google resists Viacom lawsuit
Google denied that YouTube.com’s copyright infringement is the first reaction to a lawsuit (demanding $ 1 billion in compensation) viacom filed in March.
In documents filed today in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, Google describes its plans to protect against Viacom lawsuits, which, along with compensation for damages, wants to ban the use of its content. Google demanded a jury trial.
As a primary defense, Google will rely on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) copyright protection law, which frees information keepers and hosting providers from copyright infringement if they delete content at the request of the copyright holder.
“Trying to make information keepers and hosting providers accountable for information on the Internet, Viacom complaints essentially threaten hundreds of millions of people legally exchanging information, news, entertainment content, political and artistic expression,” Google representatives said in their reply.

Google, which bought YouTube in November for a fabulous $ 1.65 billion, explains that it provides copyright holders with the tools to search for their content, as well as technologies that do not allow the "overload" of previously deleted files.
Recall that Viacom claimed that these tools were not enough and filed a lawsuit in March - almost a month after the requirement that Google should remove 100 thousand clips from YouTube.
