Canal+ has started legal proceedings against Kewego, a French company that owns and operates a number of video websites that show clips uploaded by users. The pay-TV operator is claiming infringement of copyright.

Canal+ is seeking a court order for Kewego to remove all Canal+ copyrighted material including scenes from programmes such as Les Guignols de l’Info, Groland, Nulle Part Ailleurs, Les SAV des Emnissions, Les Nuls, Dans le Peau d’un Noir and the Canal+ newscast.

The company is also claiming €1.5 million in damages. A first hearing is scheduled for May 30.
