JAKARTA - Alphabet Inc.'s subsidiary YouTube and Grammy-winning composer Maria Schneider announced in a lawsuit to court on Sunday 11 June that they agreed to end Schneider's lawsuit in the San Francisco federal court accusing the video-sharing site of allowing the piracy of Schneider's works.
The trial in this copyright infringement case was supposed to start on Monday, June 12. YouTube and Schneider agreed to end the case by stipulation, meaning it could not be re-submitted.
An Alphabet spokesman on Monday declined to comment on the filing. Schneider's lawyer also did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
Schneider sued YouTube in 2020 on behalf of a small or "ordinary" copyright-owning group, arguing that the platform protects big players such as music labels and film studios from copyright infringement, but allows pirated content from others to attract users.

The lawsuit states that large companies have access to YouTube's advanced Content ID software to scan and automatically block copyright-violating content, while individual creators are "left alone."
YouTube denies the allegations and says they are doing "more than they should" to protect copyright.
As a win for YouTube, US District Judge James Donato last month refused to ratify the lawsuit as a collective measure.
