YouTube Begins Defense, Seeks Depositions

eldavojohn writes "YouTube has begun their defense against Viacom by first calling on 30 depositions from people like Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert. While the article mentions that YouTube has not revealed what they hope to gain in these depositions, I think Jon Stewart's opinions will weigh in favor of YouTube. Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom, objects to YouTube's hosting of their content. Comedy Central hosts many Daily Show & Colbert Report clips on its own site, bringing in its own ad revenue."

Off topic thread on this troll

So... since the first day I saw this troll on slashdot, I've been pretty confused about the purpose of this troll, and what it's message is supposed to be. Ignoring the obvious flame content at the beginning, what is the complaint exactly? That Apple takes too long between revisions? Waits till things are stable instead of releasing buggy code (like Debian), or what?

So wait, colbert is mcdonalds? or is he the hamburger? roger? Viacom is the hamburgler outfit, right?

Jesus man thats the most confusing analogy ive EVER read...
