Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom

HappySpanker · 2008-07-04, 02:03 PM

What is amazing is also what Viacom originally asked for in the suit. They functionally asked for -all- source code used by Google and YouTube. Thats like Oracle demanding the source code for all Windows versions from Microsoft. That the judge even considered it was some scary shit. On the other side of the coin Google remains the #1 threat to user privacy in their unceasing quest to peddle off all the information they can gather. Their logic has always been "if we can gather it - we should be permitted to sell any of it to anyone we want". The copyright matters on the face of the issue are only a small portion of the privacy and security threats created by Google.

Then again maybe in the process they will expose the long underground platapi slave trade. Getting so a self-respecting platapuss can't even use a public restroom without being molested. Sexy little trollups they are...

Viacom learning that I like to search for "teen booty shake" and "busty girl jogging" on YouTube doesn't concern me quite as much as the Patriot Act. As much as I love Google's traffic, I do hope that they get fined harshly enough to make them clean their act up on copyright issues.
