Viacom Sued Over YouTube Parody Removal

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday March 22, 2007 @11:38PM from the turnabout-still-fair-play dept.

A self aware computer input device writes "Just a week after Viacom sued Google over copyrighted material, MoveOn.org Civic Action and Brave New Films LLC have sued Viacom claiming the cable network company improperly asked the video-sharing site YouTube to remove a parody of the network's 'The Colbert Report.' Couple this with the iFilm fiasco reported earlier, and you have to question how a company like Viacom can cry foul when it can't even accurately account for its own copyrighted material."

And still have to comply with the DMCA takedown notice, or have enough lawyers to hold back Viacom
