Does creating a YouTube client via the YouTube API infringe copyright?
<p>I have developed an iOS app that acts as a YouTube Client using the official YouTube API. I've been very care to ensure that my app complies fully with the YouTube API ToS (<a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms</a>). For example my app does not save/cache data from the API and no data is sold.</p>

<p>However I have recently received a request from the RIAA (I am based in the UK) that my app infringes copyright laws and I must remove my app from the App Store. However as my app complies with YouTube's API ToS and YouTube complies with the DMCA's safe harbour policy am I right in saying that I do not infringe copyright laws?</p>

<p>Claims to copyright infringement must state what has been infringed so that it can be removed.</p>

<p>Respond to them and ask where and how you have committed copyright infringement.</p>

<p>The ball lies with them to prove you have infringed, not you to prove you have not.</p>
