NBC Universal general counsel Rick Cotton says that the threat of Internet video piracy and illegal video sharing is now "under control," thanks to enforcement action and new technology for tracking copyrighted material.
"We've gone from a situation in video sharing where it was totally out of control to where, from a rights perspective, it's under control," said Cotton. He attributed the gains to the threat of enforcement action as well as the cooperation of video sites like YouTube Inc. , which have installed copyrighted content recognition software.
