That's fucking awesome. I hope viacom wins. Then that ruling can be used against rapidshare etc.. doesn't seem to matter WHO uploads the shit, the operator is STILL responsible.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.
Although rapid share and others do take down links if you ask them too.

Would be good against all the content sharing forums aswell.

"YouTube's strategy has been to avoid taking proactive steps to curtail the infringement on its site," Viacom said in a statement. "Their business model, which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal and is in obvious conflict with copyright laws."

I guess YouTube can start selling advertising to AFF now.

Down about $4 right now I do believe.

The fact is that Viacom has a legitimate beef, and if YouTube isn't proactive in stopping the distribution of copyrighted content, then they are at fault.
