The case I will be discussing involves UMG Recordings vs. Veoh Networks. UMG argued that Veoh was liable for copyright infringement against certain uploaded videos. UMG stated that videos were being uploaded and no proper forms of payments were made to the copyright owners. The court ruled in favor of Veoh because they qualified for a "safe harbor" under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

First article mentioned
I feel that UMG had the right to interrogate Veoh for these accusations. Copyright owners deserve being compensated for the work they submit and if Veoh is handling the uploads of these videos illegally, then the prosecutors should be punished.
