Another small win against copyright infringer YouTube

Another small victory in the fight against behemoth online video host YouTube, as the Law has ruled in favor of plaintiff Viacom (the lawsuit was combined with a similar case filed by a British soccer league and other parties) that parent company Google provide the data which will show whether YouTube viewers are viewing IP-protected videos disproportionately more than other videos. Viacom is seeking over $1 Billion in damages. This ruling will give Viacom full access to YouTube's non-personally identifiable viewer histories.

Fight the Power!
