And the Tables Turn: Video-Sharing Site Sues Major Music Label

In a reversal of how these things usually work, video-sharing site
Veoh is suing Universal Music Group, reports Variety.

The lawsuit follows what Veoh says are a series of threats from the
music label. Like other video sites on the internet, Veoh has fallen
under criticism by media companies because users sometimes share
copyrighted material. But Veoh itself has, to date, not been sued over
that or other issues.

Veoh is seeking a jury trial that it hopes will establish guidelines
for what kind of responsibilities it, and sites like it, have for
policing uploaded material. Most sites say they're not liable for
copyright infringement as long as they remove the offending videos as
soon as they're flagged by the holder.
