[...] Google/Viacom Agree to Preserve User Anonymity in Data Shakedown TECHCRUNCH The Google-Viacom showdown over the handover of YouTube user data appears to be over. The two sides agreed to changes in a previous ruling that would have required Google to hand over user id’s, IP addresses and a list of all viewed YouTube videos to Viacom in connection with their ongoing copyright infringement litigation. The new order, filed yesterday evening, states that Google will substitute user id’s and IP addresses for anonymous but unique identifiers. Source> [...]

Viacom needs to adapt to the new world if it doesn’t want to fail like others, the Internet revolution is now running at full throttle speed.

As for Google, they finally have some deep reflexions to do about their logging habits and privacy now that other companies want to know their employees logs only on presumption.

A free world of free speech, respect, privacy and other rights (the real rights that belongs to the people, POWER TO THE PEOPLE!) will triumph in the end.

-Always remember that the majority has not to pay for a few idiots.

With replaced IDs they can still point at viewers / uploads and file another request for data saying “who are these people and what are their IPs?”, so they are still perfectly capable of finding and suing people.

The problem I have is that this is sifting for information instead of policing their content appropriately. And in that respect, the cat’s been out of the bag for almost a decade now. Time to adapt business models to deal with the new markets instead of clinging to old unworkable models.

I think Viacom is just looking after their property - although they seriously need to think of a way to make it accessible to the rest of us. YouTube, on the other hand, has known about the copyright infringement for years and had decided to not pay attention to it. Like this article mentions: YouTube can't win from any angle.

I am not a fan of ViaCom, but I am a fan of content producers, webmasters, and site owners who produce original itellectual property. Content and content producers are the Kings. Our IP must be protected. The legal-wink-and-a-nod loopholes of the DMCA is no excuse for enabling copyright violation. Napster was wrong – that ship has sailed. So why are we still on this boat?

Mess with Google at your own Peril. Based on what they did with Commscore ( http://www.savi...es-revenge.html ) you don’t want to annoy them. They have got so much money and dominance in the online media space that they can pretty much crush most competitors. Still all these lawsuits keep all the “liars” employed.
