Many of the videos posted on YouTube are copyrighted material, including thousands of hours of shows owned by Viacom, such as The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. Viacom sued YouTube for violating its copyrights. Among the evidence Viacom presented was an email from one YouTube founder to another, saying, “… please stop putting stolen videos on the site. We’re going to have a tough time defending the fact that we’re not liable for the copyrighted material on the site because we didn’t put it up when one of the cofounders is blatantly stealing content from other sites and trying to get everyone to see it.”18


YouTube presented evidence that it had responded within one day to Viacom’s “takedown notice.” Is YouTube liable?
