Reuters reports that YouTube erased 29,549 films and media files after receiving a complaint from “Japanese media companies over copyright infringement.” Around the same time, the NY Times informs us that Music Companies Grab a Share of the YouTube Sale. The article says that the $50 million earned from this deal “should help to shield Google from copyright-infringement lawsuits.” Universal Music last week sued two smaller video sharing sites but not YouTube, for distributing pirated music and videos. Techdirt feels that the last minute deal with the music companies before Google buying them was YouTube basically handing over to “the labels Google’s cash before any official deal was completed.”
