I am sure Viacom does not want a legal precedent set, as I mentioned in several other discussions on the subject. I just hope neither entity is dumb enough to take this all the way. A loss for Googe will strangle user generated video and sharing. I agree with the negotiation aspect.

What I am surprised about is that it took this long for someone to step up and sue. After all if you can take on Google and win you can influence the entire industry. Similar to what the music industry did to Napster. Only they won. This fight will be a long drawn out one. Don't be surprised when MySpace has a similar type of lawsuit against them.

Considering how huge YouTube is and how many users are uploading content every second, how many people would be needed to scan and monitor this? I personally believe that Viacom didn't get the money they wanted when they were negotiating with YouTube a month or so back (YouTube changed the guaranteed revenue according to an article at WSJ) and so they decided to slap YouTube in the face, first by announcing their agreement with Joost. Then, when it wasn't causing as big of a stir, they went with the 1B lawsuit to get YouTube back into the table. This is a sick strategy in my mind. Google has the money and Viacom wants a piece of it. Simple as that. But what do I know? It’s practically impossible to monitor all uploaded content for copyright materials.

Except perhaps for the cigar bloggers. Oh, and by the way, yes I do think you now hold the record for # of posts with “Cuban” in the title. Except perhaps for the cigar bloggers.

Finally, lets settle this. If you as a company create a site that allows copywrite material to be displayed as per your business model, you have to be prepared to accept that you will be sued. It's no different then the sharing services for music from years ago. Looks pretty plain and simple. Scott Neuman - Recordweb.com Viacom’s suit is just what youtube needs. Finally, lets settle this.
