Though YouTube is still not clear about how it wants to be connected with Facebook, the creators of the video sharing portal have made it clear that they want to stop Facebook users from uploading their videos without permission. YouTube star Hank Green is calling this Facebook's way of encouraging Intellectual Property Right Theft.

According to Wall Street Journal, social networking platform Facebook has been accused of violating the Intellectual Property Right by encouraging users to post videos from YouTube.

Earlier this week, a report posted by YouTube producer Hank Green claims that Facebook tends to turn a blind eye towards users posting videos without seeking permission of the creator, which in turn, is as good as promoting intellectual property right violation; however, Facebook is in no mood to accept the blame.

As a reply to Hank Green's post, Facebook's Producer Matt Pakes said that the organization takes intellectual property very seriously and exercises caution to ensure that the same are not violated as far as his possible. In his post, Pakes also goes on to explain that Facebook has its own tracking software Audible Magic that tracks unauthorized content and even reports problems. The software also offers tools to creators that allows them to track their content.

However, Pakes post also said that Facebook understood YouTube's concern and acknowledged the problem to be quite a challenge. He also assured them that there was a team already dedicated to solving the issue. Another report on Zee News quotes Ogilvy ad agency's findings and says that 70 percent of Facebook's top posts come from other sources, which obviously includes Facebook. This increases the cause of concern for the company.

Another problem is that these video posts give credit to Facebook instead of the rightful owner. In his post, Green has said that Facebook's video upload algorithm is faulty and therefore the intellectual property rights are being violated. He also added that the cheating routine by Facebook is what keeps it in the number one spot, when it comes to online video streaming.
