South Park on Veoh

Just launched last week, Veoh Networks is already racking up copyright violations due to content piracy, a problem affecting just about every video-sharing and peer-to-peer company, reports CNET news.
Ironically, Veoh.com is backed by Time Warner and Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, two media heavyweights typically on the other side of the creative property debate. Veoh Networks CEO Dmitry Shapiro says it's not his upstart video company's fault: He blames the people who are posting the material.

"We have a policy that specifically states that when we see copyright material posted, we take it down," Shapiro said. "This problem is the democratization of publishing. Anyone can now post a video to the internet. Sometimes the material belongs to someone else. We take this very seriously."

Ultimately, Shapiro insisted, any copyrighted material found on the site is only temporary, because the site is working to find a solution to curb piracy.
