Copyright Violations
YouTube has continued to fight copyright violations even more so after the buy-out by Google. In January 2009 they unveiled a new method of fighting copyright issues. Some videos now display the video portion only, without the soundtrack. A note appears indicating that the soundtrack was removed for copyright violations. Previously, those who challenged copyright violations on the site were able to either share advertising revenues from the video or have the video pulled entirely.Idolator: YouTube hits the mute button (January 16, 2009) -
