> Subject: [Foundation-l] Murdoch Company Claims Copyright on Wikipedia Video
> 
> 
> Hi,
> 
> I wanted to update everyone about our progress in putting up WikiConference 
> India 2011 videos on Youtube. I did not intend to post about this until we 
> had put all the videos online, however the circumstances are such that I 
> thought its best to keep everyone posted.
> 
> Yesterday when one of our volunteers was working on the videos and tried to 
> change the licensing of the ones uploaded thus far to CC in the Wikipedia 
> Spirit, he realised that the Keynote address by Jimmy [1] has a Copyright 
> Claim by Star News, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp. The video had 
> been blocked in certain countries and we could not change the licensing to 
> enable people to reuse freely (and there are ads next to the video).
> 
> This morning I have filed a dispute with Youtube and sent an email to Google 
> as well mentioning that this is outrageous since it was our event and our 
> videographer - I fail to understand how this claim is tenable! Will keep you 
> posted on the response.
