A federal judge in New York ruled in favor of Google Inc.’s YouTube unit Wednesday, in a closely watched copyright-infringement lawsuit brought by Viacom Inc.
The judge granted Google’s motion for summary judgment in a three-year-old lawsuit in which Viacom claimed that the video-sharing Web site had sought to exploit Viacom’s copyrighted works for profit. Google argued that YouTube was protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
