Judge Protects YouTubes Source Code, Throws Users To The Wolves
http://www.techcrunch.com/ 2008/ 07/ 03/ judge-protects-youtubes-source-code-throws-...
The ongoing Google/YouTube-Viacom litigation has now officially spilled over to users with a court order requiring Google to turn over massive amounts of user data to Viacom. If the data is actually released, the consequences could be far more serious than the 2006 AOL Search debacle. Louis L. Stanton, the senior judge on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, issued the opinion and order, which is here (PDF). That data includes every YouTube username, the associated IP address and the videos that user has watched on YouTube.
