I'm sure you're familiar with Veoh...you know, upload video for the world to see...get sued for copyright infringement. Well, the owner of some porn videos sued Veoh for copyright infringement for videos posted on the site. Veoh argued that it complied with the "safe harbor" provisions of the DMCA, and the judge agreed. Like YouTube, Google, and many others, when an ISP complies with the DMCA, there's a 'safe harbor' for them to avoid liability for infringing videos found on their systems. If you're an ISP, that's good news. If you're a copyright owner, it's not.
Let's get practical- how is an ISP supposed to police millions of videos for copyright infringement? It's not and that's why the DMCA extends some protections.
