La Ligue de Football Professionnel a décidé à son tour de protéger ses intérêts et de s’attaquer aux vidéos sur Youtube présentant des images de matchs de football de Ligue 1 ou de Ligue 2. Elle semble avoir demandé à Youtube le retirer de nombreuses vidéos de son catalogue.

Les utilisateurs de Youtube ayant diffusé des vidéos ne respectant pas les droits de la LFP ont reçu un message comme celui-ci :

Par ailleurs, la LFP semble avoir ratissé large. Certains semble s’être vu retiré des vidéos ne violant pas les droits de la LFP. Peut être l’usage de tags aurait conduit à la suppression de ces vidéos.
