Great article by Steven Seidenberg in the February 2009 ABA Journal on the legal tensions between user-generated content sites (UGC, in the lingo) and the content owners under the “notice and take down” regime established by the DMCA. Interesting fact from the article: On YouTube alone ten hours of video content are put online every minute of every day, more than 250,000 clips per day. Link to article. Cases and sites mentioned in the article: Lenz v. Universal Music Corp Io Group, Inc. v. Veoh Networks, Inc. Viacom page on the YouTube case
