Youtube literally going down the tube…

After reading this, I was almost sick. Everyone wants a bite out of Google, no matter what they have to do to get it and the fantastic few at Viacom have decided to jump on the bandwagon.
Not only is Viacom attempting to sue Google for allegedly allowing the hosting of copyrighted material on their site, but Google is also being forced to screw over their users by submitting user IP adresses and viewing history, per the request of the judge over the case.
Google may come out of this thing unscaved, but one thing is for sure; the Youtube community is who is really getting the bitter end of this one.
You can also keep up with the case here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=9242
