Dailymotion signs Web rights deals

According to Variety, Dailymotion has signed an agreement with three unions of French rights holders.

"... Deal will allow rights holders to seek an undisclosed percentage of Dailymotion's advertising coin for each viewing. The agreement will also benefit the French website, permitting it to show in exclusivity a number of films, documentaries and specials.

... French newtork TF1 is suing Dailymotion, alleging that videos from the network's website, notably episodes of the series "Heroes," were illegally posted and seeking 40 million euros ($57 million) in compensation."
