The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld its 2011 decision rejecting Universal Music Group's lawsuit accusing Veoh of copyright infringement. The appeals court rejected UMG's request for a rehearing, holding that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act protects web hosting firms like Veoh from lawsuits if they take down infringing material when they discover it.
