YouTube threatens blogger ...over copyright infringement
Michelle Malkin

YouTube (which never seems to respond to e-mail from customers) sent out a cease-and-desist letter to top tech blogger Michael Arrington of TechCrunch:

Buried in my email this evening I found a cease and desist letter from an attorney at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, representing their client YouTube. We’ve been accused of a number of things: violating YouTube’s Terms of Use, of “tortious interference of a business relationship, and in fact, many business relationships,” of committing an “unfair business practice,” and “false advertising.” The attorney goes on to demand that we cease and desist in from engaging in these various actions or face legal remedies.

Well, crap. ...

Arrington has posted the entire letter and his analysis, and notes wryly:

Of course, the irony of YouTube accusing others of copyright infringement is delicious. But I won’t go into that right now.

Indeed: Pot. Kettle. Black.
