(IANS) YouTube, the Internet portal for videos, won a legal battle in Spain as a judge dismissed a suit brought by Telecinco television contending that the publication of its content on the web violated intellectual property protections.
Search engine giant Google, which owns YouTube, announced the verdict handed down by a commercial court in Madrid.
The court decision accepted YouTube's position that it is a mere intermediary offering services of content accommodation and cannot therefore be obliged to previously check on videos to be uploaded by users.

YouTube has fixed a flaw allowing hackers to bombard users with fake pop-up messages and redirect them to adult sites.
Hackers placed code in the comments section, under targeted videos, that would run when people watched the clip.
In some cases, a pop-up screen appeared reporting that the Canadian singer, Justin Bieber, had died in a car crash.
Google, which owns YouTube, said that it had fixed the problem "about two hours" after it was discovered.

Members of the Internet communities 4chan and others hacked YouTube using a vulnerability in the site’s comment system. Hack was used on a variety of videos, striking music videos featuring teen pop idol Justin Bieber was the most popular activity.
Twitter was flooded with complaints about the problem, Google support got some concerned posts on its forum, and we received tips in our inbox. The event caused quite a Sunday-morning stir.
The bug allowed users to inject HTML (the code that most websites are built with) that could be executed on the site, whereas HTML within comments is supposed to be restricted. The hackers did everything from force pop-up messages to appear over the site declaring that it had been hacked to redirecting Bieber video pages to sites hosting pornography and malware.

YouTube has just released a new video editor that lets you create video mashups and edit down clips from your library of existing video uploads. The feature should be rolled out to all YouTube users by the end of the day.
The new service enables you to edit together separate clips, as well as add or change the background music using YouTube’s commercial AudioSwap library of licensed songs. As of right now, the service and its features are pretty basic, but could prove valuable for users that either want to create longer montages or playlists, or do basic editing jobs.
