YouTube at risk from EU law, Google says
By EUobserver
Video-streaming site YouTube could end up "over-blocking content to limit legal risk" under a new EU copyright law due to be voted on by MEPs, Google, the US tech giant which runs the website, has warned. The EU directive's loose legal language could also see the Google News website limit its content to "very short extracts" from media, Kent Walker, a senior Google executive, told the Financial Times newspaper.
