Fox Subpoenas YouTube Over Content

Posted by Zonk on from the keeping-the-goodies-to-themselves dept.

popo writes "FOX has subpoenaed YouTube for the identity of a user who posted entire episodes of '24' and 'The Simpson's'. It is not yet known whether YouTube has complied with the request. The '24' episodes in question actually appeared on YouTube prior to their primetime January 14 premiere on the Fox broadcast network, which spread four hourlong episodes of the hit drama over two consecutive nights. Fox became aware the episodes were on YouTube on January 8, according to the subpoena."

    I have a feeling that if found, the person responsible will first be fired, then sued out the whazoo and sent to debtor's prison.

    I can understand firing him and suing him, but don't you think sending him to live in Detroit is a bit harsh?
