Fox Subpoenas YouTube Over Pirated 24, Simpsons

Fox TV’s piracy czar has subpoenaed YouTube for the identities of users who posted full episodes of 24 and Simpsons episodes.

Via GoogleWatch:

On or about January 8, 2007, Fox became aware that a subscriber (“the Subscriber”) of YouTube Inc.s’ Internet-based service uploaded pirated copies of the works onto YouTube, making it available for illegal viewing over the Internet to anyone who wishes to watch it. Fox has not authorized this distribution or display of the works. The subpoena request YouTube, Inc. to disclose information sufficient to identify the Subscriber so that Fox can stop this infringing activity.

At any rate, it’s an excuse to watch the Jack Bauer neckbite clip [above] again.
