New NBC Chief Zucker Takes Swing at YouTube


Zucker

Just after being officially announced as the new chief executive at NBC Universal, Jeff Zucker accused video-sharing site YouTube of failing to protect NBCU's copyrighted content, reports the Financial Times.

Zucker, who has been with NBC for a number of years and was named CEO on Tuesday, said he's eager to get his company's productions in front of as many people as possible - but that doing so needs to bring in money as well.

YouTube, he says, has been slack in providing adequate filtering for copyrighted material, adding that it only does so when it wants to.

Zucker's comments come just days after viacom ordered YouTube to remove all of their material from the site. Despite that, a number of Viacom clips can still be found as people re-upload videos.
