Viacom Sued Over YouTube Parody Removal

Posted by CowboyNeal on 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."

    Why dont people learn to just foot the bandwidth bill themselves so they have control over it.

    Dude, is there like a prize for the "Pun of the Century" on Slashdot or something?

    Strange, I wondered why the tag 'fowl' was there because when I looked at the summary it states 'cry foul'.

    Must have been a quick edit.
