Fox obtains DMCA subpoena against YouTube

News:  The federal district court in SF issued a DMCA subpoena (under 512(h)) against YouTube to reveal information related to the user “ECOtotal,” who posted parts of the season premiere of Fox’s popular show “24,” even before the show aired.  “ECOtotal” also posted unauthorized copies of “The Simpsons.”  (More here)

Analysis: The subpoena is pretty straightforward DMCA law.  I more intrigued — and I believe Fox should be, too — by the fact that someone got a hold of (meaning stole) the premiere of “24″ before it even aired.  Fox should be worried about its internal security system.
