90% of YouTube Video is Not Infringing

A new report by Vidmeter, an industry analyst, says that only 9.23% of videos on YouTube are found to be infringing and removed by copyright holders. These clips account for even less of the views on YouTube - 5.93%.

By recording the number of views on the most popular clips several times a day and determining which were removed as copyright infringement, Vidmeter learned that the vast majority of YouTube content is, in fact, user generated and legal.


Viacom, the media giant suing Google over YouTube, is far and away the "victim" of the most "infringement" with 40 percent of the 9.23% being removed by Viacom DMCA take-down notices. In other words, 3.7% of videos on YouTube allegedly infringe upon Viacom copyrights.


Though I have my reservations about the exact methodology for determining infringement -- they used a successful DMCA take-down as "evidence" of infringement -- the study does provide true data which shows YouTube (and its peers) are not hotbeds of infringement.

Thanks for posting this, Kevin. It really shows how much big companies make a big deal out of very little.

Thanks for pointing out that study. Just wish they would learn basic pie graph rules: making it 3d and at such an angle makes it almost impossible to really see what's going on!
