viacom is part of a media cabal that wants to keep all control of content within 6 corporations. it is a very tired story about controlling the message. they are scared to death that the truth is going to get out.
you know how many new "youtubes" are out there? i have lost track. let viacom do what they want, they cant stop it. youtube/google is already getting a reputation for censorship.
when they pull stuff... people put it on different sites. once something is on the internet its not going back in the bottle. let them go after some little guys. they will win.... sue some 11 yr olds for watching an illegal copy of "teen powder puff girls". yawn.... is viacom going to go overseas???
viacom knows they can't win the end game. they would be smart to play nice nice cause this does not end well for them.
google knew this was coming.... they will negotiate a deal..... and viacom better take it. the model has changed... the old guard better adapt.
