Website warned for putting FA footage on YouTube
Independent website 101greatgoals.blogspot.com has been warned not to show footage of FA Premiership goals on the video website YouTube.
NetResult , which is a firm monitoring the internet on behalf of the Premier League, emailed a warning to the website and told them it was "infringing" Premier League copyright.
Links from 101greatgoals to YouTube are believed to have been disabled by YouTube itself but other links to Premiership goals were still available.
This follows the video-sharing service YouTube wiping nearly 30,000 files from its website after Japanese media companies said their copyright was also being infringed.
YouTube, which had been launched in February 2005 shows about 100 million clips per day and mostly hosts homemade videos, however, it also contains clips of copyrighted material. It was recently bought by search giant Google for $1.65bn (£883m).
YouTube has recently signed distribution deals with media groups including Universal Music Group, Warner Music and CBS.
