An English soccer league group and a U.S. independent music publisher have filed a class action lawsuit against YouTube seeking an injunction to take down alleged copyrighted material from its Web site.
The Football Association Premier League Ltd., an English soccer division that broadcasts in 204 countries and owns the rights to more than a dozen matches, and Bourne Co., whose published works include “Let’s Fall in Love” and “Smile,” filed the suit against YouTube and its parent company, Google Inc., in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
