A Spanish court has re-affirmed the European ruling that YouTube is not responsible for any copyright infringement incurred by the posting of a video on its website.
A similar ruling was made in YouTube's favour earlier this year in a US court. While not surprising, these rulings illustrate yet again a basic truth about the Internet which academics and students would do well to heed: the fact that something is accessible from the Internet, even from a well-known and reputable website, in no way implies that it is legal to re-use it in a work you create. Always check the copyright situation of everything you utilise.
