The Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA, its acronym in English) has filed a complaint with the video platform owned by Google, YouTube, to get them to provide all information necessary to identify a user who posted a Video violates the 'copyright'.
As reported by TorrentFreak, this demand comes in the wake of a user posted on YouTube a video in HD concert the singer Britney Spears gave Las Vegas a few weeks ago.
Look to the RIAA with this lawsuit is that the video platform to the association provide all necessary data ( IP, email address, etc.. ) so they can identify the author of that video.
Although it is very common for the country's major record labels send requests to YouTube to remove videos that violate intellectual property laws, is the first time the RIAA lawsuits against the site that hosts the video in order to obtain user's personal data.
The video in question has already been removed from YouTube but the copies of the entire concert can still be found on other websites.
Although YouTube is listed as defendant in the lawsuit, filed by Vice 'online piracy' of the RIAA, Mark McDevitt, does not mean that YouTube be responsible for the infringement of 'copyright'.
The lawsuit is called the DMCA subpoena that sometimes the RIAA filed with the courts in cases "most serious" infringement of 'copyright', as included TorrentFreak.
According to the lawsuit from the RIAA, which has had access to TorrentFreak, it was presented last month and the case was closed a week later.
A lawyer specializing in copyright claims that it is likely that the summons was taken for processing by the court and agreed to give YouTube personal data the user requested.
