UMG Doubles Down

In its response to Megaupload’s lawsuit, UMG makes the startling claim that it has authority to seek removal of YouTube videos in which it has no copyright interest: “The UMG-YouTube agreement grants UMG rights to effect the removal of user-posted videos through YouTube’s Content Management System (“CMS”), based on a number of contractually specified criteria that are not limited to the infringements of copyrights owned or controlled by UMG.”
