The copyright infringement is probably one of the most popular expressions at the Googleplex because the Mountain View company suffered numerous lawsuits because of this matter. As you might have heard, Google was sent to the judge as a lot of companies accused the search giant of uploading videos without authorization on the official page of YouTube. But in case you forgot, Google is also the owner of Google Video, a YouTube-like technology that is also afraid of copyright infringement. Obviously, the search giant wants to avoid new lawsuits and sustains the company tries to do anything it's possible to block unauthorized content on its page.

"Google respects the rights of copyright holders and publishers and will only accept video uploads from persons who hold all necessary rights to the uploaded material. If you believe that someone else has uploaded your copyrighted content without your permission, we encourage you to contact that person in order to resolve the matter with them directly. You can also submit a copyright infringement notice to Google Video," it is mentioned in the Google Video guidelines.

But Google Video has not been always on the legal side. In the past it was reported that Google's video sharing service hosts full length movies such as 'Crank' and 'The Butterfly Effect'. What's more interesting is that these videos were published with different names and, even if they recorded a huge audience and they were reported to the parent company, the Mountain View giant didn't remove them at that time.

Speaking about the future of the Google's two video sharing services, Eric Schmidt, the Google CEO, sustained that Google Video and YouTube will continue to exist but with different goals. While the recently acquired video platform will try to improve its amazing community, Google Video will remain focused on the content it provides.
