I heard this from a consumer reporter on a local talk show radio and decided to research it so i knew the facts.
Viacom, which owns many television stations like Comedy Central, MTV and Cartoon Network is suing Google, which owns Youtube.
Because You Tube allows users to upload copyrighted material.
In July there was a ruling in the courts which gave Viacom access to records of what people watch on YouTube and who they are! Consumer advocates such as Clark Howard, who i listen to, warned of the potential privacy violations, particularly if Viacom uses the information to track down and sue people who watch copyrighted video clips on the site.
I am confused, can they really do that? Sue us for just watching it?
It's not like we were warned it was illeagle.
