More Support For Class Action Copyright Lawsuit Against YouTube

Authored by Jay Baage on August 6, 2007 - 9:55am.
London. Bob Tur, an LA photo journalist who was first to file a copyright lawsuit against YouTube, is dropping his individual suit and will instead join a class action suit that is led by England's Premier Soccer League and a number of new members.

The law firms handling the class action suit against Google, which acquired YouTube in October, announced Monday that they have new members to the action, reports CNET.

Some of those joining the suit against Google is National Music Publishers' Association, the largest music publishing association in the U.S., the United Kingdom's Rugby Football League and the Finnish Football League Association.

"I carried the ball against YouTube for a year now," Tur said in a statement. "After careful analysis and consideration, I have concluded that the (Premier League) class action is the most effective way for independent copyright holders to secure the judicial remedies that I am seeking."
