GOOGLE VIDEO IS FACING A copyright infringement lawsuit, the company
revealed this week in a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The lawsuit, filed in France, seeks $192,465 (150,000 Euros) in
damages; it's based on allegations related to a documentary that
surfaced on the site. Google said it removed the video as soon as it
learned that owners hadn't authorized its release. "This is a small
lawsuit over a single video that appeared briefly. We have procedures
in place that allow copyright owners to tell us if their content is
placed on Google Video without authorization. When we receive
appropriate notice, we quickly remove the content from Google Video,"
the company said in a statement.
