you tube lawsuit

Story Highlights
Federal judge authorizes full access to YouTube's viewer logs

Plaintiffs want to know if copyright-protected videos are watched more than others

YouTube says producing data will be time-consuming and a threat to users' privacy

Viacom seeks $1 billion-plus in damages from Google, which owns YouTube
.............

So, I was just in youtube, and a thing at the top said something like 'it appears you have a google account. would you like to merge your youtube account with google?"
(i already get occasional youtube updates at my gmail anyway, so not sure what this is all about)

I clicked "not now" and signed out.

Scary stuff. I understand where Viacom is upset but I realistically don't know (with the exception of manually watching every uploaded video) how youtube could possibly stop copyright material from appearing on their site.

That's almost as tragic as their anti-nudity policy.

Riznick had a good point in that thread. WTF is google doing keeping logs of all our web searches and video viewings in the first place?
