French based video site Dailymotion has been ordered by Paris court to pay damages for a video the site is hosting illegally. The site was ordered to pay a symbolic Euro 1 ($1.38) to Christian Carion for a clip from his film “Merry Christmas” as well as pay the film’s producers and distributors $17, 914 and $13,780 US respectively. The website may appeal the matter. In March 2007, fellow video sharing site YouTube was slapped with a lawsuit of over over 1 billion dollars for copyright infringement.
