STUDY SAYS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT DOMINANT ON YOUTUBE
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable 4/5, AUTHOR: Garth Johnston]
The amount of copyrighted material on YouTube and other video sharing sites may be less than previously thought. A report from online video tracker Vidmeter found that of the top 6,725 videos between December 9, 2006 and March 22, 2007 only 621, or 9.23%, were removed because they were found to infringe upon their owners copyright. The most popular YouTube videos were viewed 1,586,573,131 times in the studied time frame and pulled clips accounted for only 94,187,203 of those views, or 5.93%.
