Online video news sharing site Redlasso said today that it is suspending blogger access to its video search and clipping service while it fights a copyright infringement lawsuit filed this week by NBC and Fox News Channel.
The company said it will continue to provide services to its business and radio clients.
Hayward said the company will continue conversations with content providers during the suspension and the goal is to form formal partnerships.
Broadcast networks have complained that the company violated copyright laws by running unauthorized clips and full-length programs of "The Tonight Show" and "The Fox Report with Shepard Smith."
"Clip usage by bloggers is an exercise of first amendment rights to provide social commentary on newsworthy events," said Hayward.
