The popular video-sharing site YouTube deleted nearly 30,000 files after a Japanese group complained of copyright infringement. The Japan Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers, found 29,549 video clips such as television shows and music videos posted on YouTube's site without permission, an official from the group said last week. Some have suggested the startup eventually could be sued by copyright holders, especially with deep-pocketed Google about to buy it for $1.65 billion in stock.
