“The decision will let a whole new generation of creators and artists share their work online.” “This is a victory for the Internet and for the people who use it,” said Kent Walker, Google’s general counsel, in an interview. Google and groups supporting Internet companies hailed the decision, saying it would protect not only YouTube but also other sites that host user-generated content. Stanton of United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sided with Google, saying that while the company certainly knew that copyrighted material had been uploaded to its site, it did not know which clips had been uploaded with permission and which had not.
