NBC and CBS are two of the companies that we know have sent nastygrams to YouTube over copyrighted video, and I’m sure there are many more. YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley says in some cases, the same company is both uploading video and ordering YouTube to take it down. “There’s been a few examples of marketing departments uploading content directly to the site, while on the other side of the company their attorney is demanding we remove this content,” Hurley said. (…) Did you know YouTube has twice the traffic of Yahoo! Video and more than three times that of Google Video and AOL Video? Wow!
YouTube was also the subject of a cover story yesterday in trade mag Hollywood Reporter, along with the Lonely Island guys, whose Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia SNL phenom left television and movie biz execs deeply perplexed: “Do we mack on the cupcakes, or sue them?”
