It is undeniable that YouTube trends have changed over the past few years, but it is a good thing that the company's legal standing has remained. A federal judge has ruled that the DMCA still offers protection for the streaming site from Viacom's copyright claims, where this particular ruling would respond to Viacom's appeal of a 2010 case, where said case stated that YouTube is not to be held responsible for copyright infringing content uploaded by its users. Viacom has since sought to revise that particular ruling, insisting that YouTube was “willfully blind” towards such activities.
