YouTube is no longer a safe haven for uploading copyrighted videos if what has happened today means anything. E! Online reports that YouTube and LiveDigital have turned over names of two users who uploaded episodes of "24" and "The Simpsons" before they aired to 20th Century Fox.
"We intend to use the information provided to pursue all available legal remedies against those who infringed our copyrights," 20th Century Fox media relations VP Chris Alexander said in a statement to E! Online.
"As we have long maintained, Fox is committed to vigorously protecting our content from illegal Internet distribution and other forms of piracy."
Copyrighted clips are still easy to find there, but YouTube is going after those who upload them in adverse to studio rights. Indeed, YouTube has agreements with some studios, among them Viacom, to allow some copyrighted clips.
