Viacom vs. YouTube

I’ve sounded off on this topic before. I’ll continue to be more in Viacom’s corner than Google’s so long as I can find a video any time day or night thats sitting on a Google Server that can be viewed illegally. Hiding behind the safe-harbor provision inserted into the DMCA that was designed to remove the possibility of ISPs being sued, or having to police their users rings hollow to me for Google.

There’s something to be said though for practicing what you preach, and while I’m sure Viacom’s site isn’t nearly as slathered down with content that was “borrowed” as YouTube was it makes for a compelling humorous video when you get to catch a company doing something hypocritical.

Apologies, video embedding is acting up.
