Judge gives away your (yes, YOU) private info, Viacom to blame
written 3 Jul 2008 while the sun tried, at least, rising
According to Wired, a judge ordered that Google must hand over private user data from YouTube to Viacom. All of that data.
So as long as you’ve used YouTube, your private data will be handed over to Viacom. Viacom, which owns CBS, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, CMT, Spike, VH1, Comedy Central, Logo and Showtime, as well as Paramount and Dreamworks, claims that YouTube has more copyright-infringing materials than user created videos. They’re basically pissed because people are uploading segments of shows (and that’s all you can upload, YouTube uploads cap out at 10 minutes) and they’re not getting paid for them. So they’ve somehow convinced a court to turn over your private data.
