Viacom Thoughts?

[PaulMacC]

As you all know Viacom have requested youtube to hand over all their user information on what video's they have watched, uploaded, deleted and their IP adresses. The judge even agreed with this, so whats your thoughts on this?


btw Viacom own companies like Nickelodeon and MTV and are doing this because they think people are watching their video's on youtube rather than TV and want their material off youtube.

Why don't they just go and file complaints like other sane companies? Viacom are being complete idiots over this.

They are doing it so they can get money and sue anyone for uploading the videos. its bloody stupid <_<

Google will remove all ip addresses from one soruce i read.

I think it be fine anyways

[Recursion]

Google didn't give in to the search logs they were meant to hand over a few years back...

[Dentafrice]

I don't think that they should give in..

Google are smart, and care about their users. They will think of something creative

[timROGERS]

It has been suggested that they will be given IPs in a table seperate from the rest of it and all jumbled up

There's already a thread on this.

Also Viacom has no right in my opinion to request private information.
