"Viacom is seeking at least $1 billion in damages from Google"

Fuck I feel bad for the sorry guy that has to sort through all that, I'm betting there making the guy who slept with the owners daughter do it all without any search functionality haha.

Edit: By the way this is fucking harse, I wish I was a big mob boss or someone with enough power to wack anyone who would try to pull this fucking shit.....Google should say shove it up your ass and not give over that type of info, nor should they take this lightly, they should do a hostile takeover of viacom and fire the bitches who started this shit... at least thats what I would try to do.

Fool, I care, and its not because I spam YouTube, or any other video site its because if a company like Viacom wins this battle its going to open the doors for almost every company out there to attack all forms of online video websites.

This will be a huge blow to honest video website owners who have valued members that upload legit shit, but with that said I do know for a fact that its impossible to keep a growing video website 100% free of copyrighted material because everyone uploads whatever they like.

The best us as owners can do is use human moderators to try and determine if the work is legit or not and even then we don't know if its legit unless the original owner comes forward and informs us that the work has been uploaded without there permission, at which point we are required by law to remove the content in a prompt manner.

So if Viacom wins this legal battle its like saying anyone can sue any online video website the second any copyrighted material is seen on that website, this is why I hope Google kicks the shit out of Viacom in this battle, Viacom is just being a pain in the ass and greedy, instead they should be working with Google to enhance there systems instead of attacking them which (I'll say again) can have a big ass impact with online video websites, especially if this makes it to the supreme courts.
