N.Korea video removed over copyright spat: YouTube

YouTube said Thursday that a North Korean propaganda video showing New York City under attack had been removed from the site over a copyright complaint by the makers of the "Call of Duty" video game.

This image released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on January 27, 2013 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un attending a security meeting at an undisclosed location in North Korea. YouTube said that a North Korean propaganda video showing New York City under attack had been removed from the site over a copyright complaint by the makers of the "Call of Duty" video game.

The snippet was "taken down by the user" after the complaint was filed by California-based Activision, the publisher behind the blockbuster military shooter video game franchise.
