The clock is ticking for Fox Chicago.
After our YouTube channel was suspended due to copyright infringement clams by the station, we sent a counter-notification to YouTube challenging WFLD's complaints. Yesterday, we received an email letting us know that our counter-notice had been forwarded on to Fox.
At this point, the ball is squarely in the station's court. If they don't respond to the notice in the next 10 business days, YouTube will restore our material. If they tell YouTube that they're standing by their infringment claims, we're prepared to enter litigation.
Meanwhile, we sent a separate letter to our contacts at WFLD last Friday saying that we would be happy to sit down and discuss reasonable guidelines for our future use of Fox Chicago video content. But we're yet to hear back.
Meanwhile, the dispute continues to attract attention in the blogosphere. Click here for our full coverage.
