S.D.N.Y.: DMCA Safe Harbor has plenty of room for YouTube. (Duh!)

  1. The Safe Harbor provision sure does cover the YouTube site,
  2. YouTube kicks a** implementing it, and finally,
  3. Safe-Harbor-defeating “actual knowledge” of infringement means actual instances of infringement, not some vague knowledge of infringing activity, or whatever it was that Viacom was trying to assert.
