Viacom vs you. Google must divulge the
viewing habits of every user who has ever
watched any video on YouTube, a US court has
ruled.
The ruling comes as part of Google's legal
battle with Viacom over allegations of
copyright infringement.
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier
Foundation (EFF) called the ruling a
"set-back to privacy rights".
The viewing log, which will be handed to
Viacom, contains the log-in ID of users, the
computer IP address (online identifier) and
video clip details.
While the legal battle between the two firms
is being contested in the US, it is thought
the ruling will apply to YouTube users and
their viewing habits everywhere.
Viacom, which owns MTV and Paramount
Pictures, has alleged that YouTube is guilty
of massive copyright infringement.
The UK's Premier League association is also
seeking class action status with Viacom on
the issue, alleging YouTube, which was bought
by Google in 2006, has been used to watch
football highlights.
Legal action
When it initiated legal action in March 2007
Viacom said it had identified about 160,000
unauthorised clips of its programmes on the
website, which had been viewed more than 1.5
billion times.
Following the launch of its billion-dollar
lawsuit, YouTube introduced filtering tools
in an effort to prevent copyright materials
from appearing on the site.
The US court declined Viacom's request that
Google be forced to hand over the source code
of YouTube, saying it was a "trade secret"
that should not be disclosed.
But it said privacy concerns expressed by
Google about handing over the log were
"speculative".
Google's senior litigation counsel Catherine
Lacavera said in a statement: "We are
disappointed the court granted Viacom's
over-reaching demand for viewing history.
"We will ask Viacom to respect users' privacy
and allow us to anonymise the logs before
producing them under the court's order."
The ruling will see the viewing habits of
millions of YouTube users given to Viacom,
totalling more than 12 terabytes of data.
Viacom said it wanted the data to "compare
the attractiveness of allegedly infringing
video with that of non-infringing videos."
YouTube and Google had "compelled" it to go
to court, Viacom said, "by continuing to
defend their illegal and irresponsible
conduct and profiting from copyright
infringement, when they could be implementing
the safe and legal user generated content
experience they promise".
It said it would not be asking for any
"personally identifiable information" of any
user.
"Any information that we or our outside
advisors obtain will be used exclusively for
the purpose of proving our case against You
Tube and Google (and) will be handled subject
to a court protective order and in a highly
confidential manner."
'Erroneous ruling'
Leading privacy expert Simon Davies told BBC
News that the privacy of millions of YouTube
users was threatened.
He said: "The chickens have come home to
roost for Google.
"Their arrogance and refusal to listen to
friendly advice has resulted in the privacy
of tens of millions being placed under
threat."
Mr Davies said privacy campaigners had warned
Google for years that IP addresses were
personally identifiable information.
Google pledged last year to anonymise IP
addresses for search information but it has
said nothing about YouTube data.
Mr Davies said: "Governments and
organisations are realising that companies
like Google have a warehouse full of data.
And while that data is stored it is under
threat of being used and putting privacy in
danger."
The EFF said: "The Court's erroneous ruling
is a set-back to privacy rights, and will
allow Viacom to see what you are watching on
YouTube.
"We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad
request and Google to take all steps
necessary to challenge this order and protect
the rights of its users."
The body said the ruling was also potentially
unlawful because the log data did contain
personally identifiable data.
The court also ruled that Google disclose to
Viacom the details of all videos that have
been removed from the site for any reason.

| History of Viacom Logos (1971-2005) |
 |
This is a compilation of Viacom logos from
1971 to 2005. I only included logos that were
seen on American television, so the PAL "V of
Doom" is not included. I also didn't include
the extended "V of Steel," but I still used
the video to make the normal "V of Steel" in
good quality.
NOTE: I am quite aware that this logo history
is outdated since several more Viacom logos
have been discovered since I made this.
Also, there are several logos already on here
that have been uploaded in better quality.

KEEP A GOOD EYE ON THE HONORS FOR THIS
VIDEO! THE LAST FEW HAVE BEEN VERY SLOW TO
UPDATE!
IN CASE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY YOUTUBE
CHANNEL, ADD ME AS A FRIEND ON MYSPACE:
http://profile.myspace.com/realweeklynews
Here are my other videos on Viacom:

Viacom appears to have abused their ability
to remove videos and entire channels through
copyright claims. While I have always agreed
that their property should be protected and
should be removed if they needed it to be.
This time they crossed the line. Actually
they have done this many times before. Here
is a link to one of their most abusive
copyright issues in the past:
http://theknightshift.blogspot.com/2007/08/vi
acom-hits-me-with-copyright.html
This is not the only time Viacom has acted
very aggressively with people on the
internet. They do this because they are a
large corporation and think they can get away
with it. For the most part they have.
Recently some trigger happy person at Viacom
took down the video Viacom vs you from
youtube. It was obvious to everyone that
there was absolutely no copyright issue with
that video whatsoever. Yet it was still
removed. Most videos that are taken down
unjustly never see the light of day again. I
am only back up now because of all the
support from my viewers.
This is not just a Viacom problem, it is also
a youtube problem. Anyone can accuse any
channel anytime for copyright infringement.
It is up to the accused to prove their
innocence rather then the accusor. From what
I have seen there are no severe penalties for
a false copyright claim made by a channel or
a business. Channels and businesses that make
more then one false copyright claim need to
be punished severely for their actions. This
is a very serious subject on youtube and
around the net. This has happened multiple
times to many different channels.
There is also no distinction between a
copyright infringing video and a video
dealing with fair use.
TRADE MARK / COPYRIGHT INFO:
Trademarks and "service marks" — are
governed in the U.S. by the federal Lanham
Act, along with various different laws in the
individual states. The basic purpose of
trademark law is to protect consumers by
enabling them to rely on recognizable marks
to identify the source of goods and services.
It follows that unless there is a likelihood
that the unauthorized use of a trademark or
service mark will confuse consumers, there is
no violation of trademark law. In many cases,
courts don't need to address fair use or
other possible defenses because there is no
real likelihood of confusion.
But trademark rights are closely related to a
number of other rights, and trademark owners
will also frequently make claims about
"dilution", "passing off", "unfair
competition", or the "right of publicity".
"Trademark dilution" lets owner of a "famous"
mark stop any use that blurs or tarnishes its
distinctiveness ( Not Reputation) — even if
there is no chance that consumers will be
confused. Because the concept of dilution has
such potentially broad reach, there are
specific defenses in the federal Lanham Act
that are applicable to claims of dilution.
"All forms of news reporting and news
commentary" are exempted, as are comparative
advertising, and "noncommercial use". The
First Amendment and state constitutional
protections for speech provide additional
protections for news reporting and
commentary.
While I do state certain legal items in my
videos and in my text it is up to you to do
your own research. I am here to shed some
light on a pretty dark subject, but by no way
am I responsible for any conclusions you draw
from my videos or my information. If you are
going to act against someone for anything
dealing with a copyright lawsuit. Hire your
own attorney and go over your claim in detail
with them. The information I provide is to
give people an idea of the laws, but not to
be the only source on them.
This subject is not over. Until youtube
provides me with the proper documentation, we
will not be 100% certain that Viacom did
this, but all signs to point to them. Youtube
still has yet to provide me with the
information I have requested.
For the new update, watch my latest video on
the subject.

Agree or disagree, at least listen to the
song at the end.

wned_by_Viacom
Lyrics:
Hey Viacom, how is your business today?
All these legal tactics scare customers away.
Why you got to be that way?
Don't act retarded like the RIAA
Viacom, I fucked your mom
Viacom, I fucked your mom
Viacom, I fucked your mom
But she got it for free, that's my policy
Sorry if I like some badass song, but why is
using it in a vlog so wrong?
Cyborg lawyers from outer space, threw an
online lawsuit in my face.
Viacom, I fucked your mom
Viacom, I fucked your mom
Viacom, I fucked your mom
But she got it for free, that's my policy
That's ok, act that way, take your money and
fade away.
Because you know what your doing is wrong,
but at least you don't own this
kickass song.
Sometimes new music seems lame to me...
Probably because the best things in life are
free.

Big thanks to Burnvictim77, you rock.
