US Court of Appeals; 9th Circuit, 95 7th St, San Francisco, CA, 94103, United States
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed that video hosting site Veoh was indeed legal, dismissing Universal’s claims that the site facilitated copyright infringement.
The court decision, which comes four years after Universal sued Veoh and two years after the site’s first court victory, comes too late for Veoh — the company went into bankruptcy in early 2010 and subsequently sold its domain and other assets to Israel-based video startup Qlipso. However, the decision is still notable as a strong win for companies operating under the DMCA’s safe harbor provisions.
