As we have been talking about Google and Youtube in class I thought I'd comment on the suit filed recently against the web video giants by Viacom for $1 B.
Viacom contends that the ability to upload video's onto Google and Youtube is infringing on copyright laws.
Google says it will agressively fight the lawsuit, and also says it is protected by other copyright laws.
As we have looked at these two sites in class, I thought it was interesting that they may be recieving a huge blow to their ability to attract traffic and attention to their websites that can be transformed into marketing revenue.
