YouTube gives SET India copyright nightmares

Apparently, Indian media industry is concerned about the copyright violations on YouTube and other Web 2.0 media sharing sites. Kaushal Modi, head of SET India’s licensing and telephony division, works closely with the US office of Sony Entertainment to monitor and track copyright violations. Seems that they’ve already had several episodes of Indian Idol removed from YouTube. Modi is not keen on revenue sharing because:

“I have an exclusive relationship with Sify in the internet space for Indian Idol. If I find the popular programme on YouTube, I would prefer it is removed from the site rather than an arrangement of revenue sharing.”
