Although it might sound a little impossible for a 15-year-old boy to manage to convince YouTube that he represents Australian Broadcasting Corporation and forced them to remove 200 clips from the page, the Google product was recently involved in a funny case. It seems like the West Australian boy wrote a subpoena, accusing the online video sharing service for copyright infringement and requiring YouTube to remove 200 clips. All the videos were taken from "The Chaser's War on Everything" and were removed a month ago, being replaced by the well-known notification used by YouTube, Stuff.co.nz reported. "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Australian Broadcasting Corporation" is the messaged displayed when a user tries to access a removed clip. One of the 200 videos was owned by ABC and displayed Charles Firth and Hillary Clinton with more than 100.000 views since the upload date.

"The head of ABC legal is contacting those involved. We are very much keeping our options open in terms of what kind of action we take," the head of arts, entertainment and comedy at ABC TV, Courtney Gibson, said according to the same publication. "I don't think we should prosecute him - we should probably hire him. If they are copyright crusaders, I hope they don't look too closely at the old days' The Chaser newspaper," Chaser's Julian Morrow added.

Although this might even sound a little bit funny, it's obvious that YouTube is afraid of copyright infringement and is opened to any complaint filed by its users. As you know, YouTube was recently affected by one of the most famous lawsuits, Viacom, the owner of MTV and Comedy Central, accusing the company for copyright infringement and requiring $1 billion in damages. The story is at least interesting because Viacom first demanded the removal of more than 100.000 clips and, even if the search giant agreed and started the deletion, they sued Google for copyright infringement.
