What you will find out is that is that Viacom did NOT ask that this specific video to be taken down. This is really Google goof..
And the Law suit is really about Google not even maken slightest attempt to clean up thier obvious copyright violations.. however had no problem keeping the Pr0n off etc..
As a real content producer, I loved the true idea of Youtube where "YOU" the user can post and share your own content. Not just copy and past others hard work..and then let the wonderfull "do no evil" Google make money from thier work.
No evil my. my ass..
Let's be honest, the whole point of YOUtube was for the content to be created by "YOU" the users. Not cherry picking the best segments from shows and movies and then let google profit from it??
Youtube should keep to users created content. You know, all those wonderfull video clips of talking people that think they have something interesting or funny to say... Oh wait that's not getting all the views. Let's just let the users steal clips from movies and shows and sell the ads there. What kind of business model is that?
BTW When I finally went and saw Borat (I know not Viacom, but Fox), It was a total waste of my time and money as I had already seen all the best clips on Youtube... ruined it for me.
