Viacom Sues Youtube For Us$1 Billion Dollars The biigest sue against Google corporation (Youtube owner)

Yes yes, everybody loves Google, we all know that. I also like them, they had some great ideas and some nice initiatives.But here we have a clear violation of protected content. They should have stressed for methods to keep the users from posting copyrighted materials. They can't hide behind the idea that it's user generated content, and it's the users' fault (which is completely wrong). It's their website, they are responsible for what is put there. If I had a website and I would let a user upload some child pornography photos, it would be entirely my fault. The same here.So, concluding, it doesn't matter who we like, it matters who is right. And Google definetely isn't.

News: Viacom sues YouTube for US$1 Billion DollarsSource: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
Obviously, youtube earned millions, not to say billions, with the very popular website http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ but,
everyone knows that a lot of video clips shared in their website servers have not licences to be used legaly,
and that is why everyone also knows youtube owners, which is google corporation now, are breaking the law,
that is the number one fact.
Unauthorised clips of popular TV shows like MTV Unplugged and Sponge Bob Squarepants that have been viewed online more than 1.5 billion times, have no licences from Viacom which is the legal owner if i may say so.
And you all know, a lot of video clips over there have not licences to be shared/viewed by anyone, but youtube does not care
nor does not respect copyrights because lets face it, youtube just cares with earning money, period!
This is the biggest sue, especially because 1 billion dollars is really a lot of money, and if google looses, which is going to lose over Viacom, google will admit that the youtube aquirement by google was the more stupid business of the year of 2006, in my opinion of course.
What do you think? Will Google (youtube owner) lose this sue against Viacom?
Why google did not do anything to stop copyrights infrigement in youtube?
Did viacom sued google because it has much more money then youtube latest owners and so this is a big opportunity?
Just say your thoughts.

This is why I'm starting to hate youtube. Now a days they are deleting so much content if it has even 1% of copyright infringement. I mean I understand that they are doing their job, but come on. I mean I loved being able to go on there and watching some full youtube video clips and such.

After more then 20 replies to this topic i created, it seems to me that youtube website users/members are loosing their trust, their will to visit youtube once again to view video clips, why, because they think that the video clip could be now deleted due to copyrights infrigements, and be the way, i do feel the same way about youtube nowadays.Google continues to not do a thing about this problem, big problem.

Way to go Viacom. Yes there is so much stuff on youtub that shouldnt not be there, that is trademarked, and was upladed without the okay of they owners, or the people in them. But can youtube servive this lawsuit? maybe. I honestly feel Viacom is doing the right thing in this. But Youtube should have also checked there uploads more to stop what is copy written and being used without the okay of the powers that be.On a little differnt note though, Now youtube should go and sue some of these Youtube look alikes. I am not gonna even give there links due to the things on these sites You tube had a great thing going, but as we all know sites come and go so quickly here in the net. one day its youtube next myspace then facebook and so forth.but that is getting away from the story above. All I can say is way to go Viacom
