YouTube, Viacom agree to anonymize viewer data – Yahoo! News
July 15, 2008Update on an earlier post – good news, but Viacom suing YouTube is as stupid as the RIAA suing internet radio – free advertising is good, not bad. Content creators should understand that getting your stuff in front of as many eyes and ears as possible is a good thing. Most do – and most beancounters don’t.

You can get sued for watching YouTube
July 3, 2008Yes, that’s right. If you’ve ever watched a Comedy Central or Cartoon Network video on YouTube, Viacom can now sue you. A judge gave them access to your ip address. Utter bullshit. It was bad enough Viacom pulled the clips (which were free advertisements for their shows) from YouTube in what has to be one of the stupiest moves ever (right up there with the RIAA and MPAA suing their own customers and the decisions of most colleges and ISPs to bend over for them). They’re coming for radio stations and soon it will be libraries and fair use.
