Hitting the financial jackpot, it appears, may have created some headaches for YouTube, the wildly popular video-sharing Web site that has agreed to be bought by Google for $1.65 billion in stock.

 

The site late last week began purging copyrighted material from Comedy Central, including clips from YouTube stalwarts like "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," "The Colbert Report" and "South Park."

 

The action was "a result of third- party notification by Comedy Central," according to an e-mail message sent to a YouTube user, Jeff Reifman, who broke the news on the Web site NewsCloud.

 

A week earlier, about 30,000 clips were excised after the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers cited copyright infringement.

 

YouTube did not respond to repeated messages left over the weekend.

 

The situation is tricky for a network like Comedy Central, part of Viacom. Its audience is young and technologically sophisticated, and Comedy Central stars in the past have used YouTube and clip services to interact with their audience.

 

In an interview with Wired magazine in September 2005, Stewart of "The Daily Show" explained his view: "We get an opportunity to produce this stuff because they make enough money selling beer that it's worth their while to do it. I mean, we know that's the game. I'm not suggesting we're going to beam it out to the heavens, man, and whoever gets it, great. If they're not making their money, we ain't doing our show."
