Revolutionary YouTube Feature Coming in September!

Google acquired YouTube in October 2006 for $1.65 billion and since then, the Mountain View company was assaulted by a huge number of complaints and, what's more important, with lawsuits. Just after the transaction was confirmed, Google said it is working on a very efficient tool able to block the copyright infringement videos, saying that it might be released at the end of the last year. The function was then postponed for this year but the number of the lawsuits was increased as numerous companies took the search giant before the judge for copyright infringement.

At the beginning of this year, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt provided some new details about this revolutionary anti-copyright infringement feature expected by every one of us. The Google official said the function, codename Claim Your Content, was at that time in labs and might be released sometimes this summer. Meanwhile, some other copyright cases were added to the list.

A few days ago, the International Herald Tribune reported that Google will release the long-awaited feature in September when the copyright infringement complaints will be stopped.

Philip S. Beck, a Google lawyer, said at a copyright infringement lawsuit that the Mountain View company will release the feature very soon, "hopefully in September".

As you probably heard, the media giant Viacom sued Google for copyright infringement, requiring $1 billion in damages. The case was at least interesting because the MTV owner first demanded the removal of 100.000 clips from the page since they were published without authorization.

Also, several other organizations or celebrities such as the Premier League soccer association and Daniella Cicarelli, Ronaldo's ex-wife, brought the search giant to court because the users uploaded videos on the online video sharing platform YouTube without their authorization. However, even if the number of the lawsuits is huge, YouTube manages to remain the leader of the online video sharing services battle.
