The Premier League and Bourne whose action against YouTube alleges wide-scale copyright infringement, announced that the two law firms representing them (Proskauer Rose LLP and Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP) have been appointed Class counsel on an interim basis by the Judge presiding over the case.
Dan Johnson, Premier League spokesman said: “We are pleased to see so many other copyright holders joining us in what we are trying to achieve. The clear and growing message to YouTube and Google is simple: their callous and opportunistic business model is contrary to right, contrary to law, and must and will be stopped.”
Johnson continued: “We are also delighted that our counsel, Proskauer and Bernstein Litowitz, have been appointed counsel for the Class on an interim basis. The appointment demonstrates the Court’s confidence in these counsel, which will help us to proceed against YouTube and Google in a cohesive and unified manner.”
