French TV broadcaster TF1 sues YouTube: report
France's largest commercial broadcaster, TF1, has filed a lawsuit against the video-sharing site YouTube and is seeking damages of EUR 100m, the website of French business daily Les Echos said on Wednesday. A YouTube spokesman quoted by the newspaper said the suit had been received a few days ago in California but would be judged in Paris. A TF1 spokesman declined to comment on the report. YouTube, acquired by Internet giant Google in 2006, is facing a USD 1bn copyright infringement suit from entertainment group Viacom that accuses it of profiting from clips from Viacom shows illegally uploaded by YouTube users.
