An issue is whether YouTube is protected by the safe harbor provisions of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DMCA\">Digital Millennium Copyright Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On July 1st 2008, Judge Louis Stanton (U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York) ordered Google to release data including copies of all videos that were once available for public viewing on YouTube.com but later removed and the &#8220;logging&#8221; database that contains information about each instance when a video is watched, either through YouTube or through embedding on another site. The logging database includes data such as usernames of YouTube viewers and users&#8217; computer IP addresses.<\/p>\n<p>UWW students and staff can read this latest decision in the legal research database <a href=\"https:\/\/libproxy.uww.edu:9443\/login?url=http:\/\/www.lexisnexis.com\/us\/lnacademic\/search\/loadForm.do?formID=AC07STCseCmnSrch&amp;random=0.629057918476297\">LexisNexis Academic<\/a> (search for <strong>2008 U.S. Dist.
