A U.S. appeals court dealt Google Inc a major
defeat by reviving lawsuits by Viacom Inc, the English Premier League
and various other media companies over the use of copyrighted videos on
Google's YouTube service without permission. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals on Thursday reversed a June 2010 lower court ruling in favor
of YouTube, which had been considered a landmark in setting guidelines
for websites to use content uploaded by users.
