NY Court Holds Photo Site Photobucket Doesn't Need To Police For Infringements

"Photobucket was sued by a visual artist who claimed that a number of her copyrighted images were uploaded to Photobucket without her consent.
She notified Photobucket, and some of her notices were compliant with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)."...

"The artist, convinced that more infringing photos remained in Photobucket, filed suit for copyright infringement, and a motion for a preliminary injunction.
On March 17, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied her motion, and held that Photobucket had no duty to ensure that photos on its website were non-infringing, even if it has received notice of infringement in the past."...
