Apparantly Viacom put up so much content itself it got to a point that even they couldnt tell what items they had or had not uploaded ....

I think this case is showing a lot of interesting tactics/pr/game plans that exsist in marketing......a lot more info will come out over the next few months im sure.

Overall I think the case will be settled out of court.
Settled or not, whatever happens will have everyone else following.
