Titan loses case against Veoh video sharing site

Titan Media has after a federal judge dismissed their lawsuit against video sharing site Veoh.

Titan launched the suit in 2006 after ten of their videos were discovered on Veoh. Veoh argued it was unaware of the infringement and removed the material as quickly as possible.

However, Titan countered that Veoh failed to comply to their own rules concerning copyrighted material and did not adequately monitor users who repeatedly posted the illegal material.

The judge found in favor of Veoh. "The record presented demonstrates that, far from encouraging copyright infringement, Veoh has a strong DCMA policy, takes active steps to limit incidents of infringement on its website, and works diligently to keep unauthorized works off its website," wrote U.S. Magistrate Judge Howard Lloyd.

Can't win 'em all, Titan.
