Judge to YouTube: Cough up those IPs
http://www.mathewingram.com/ work/ 2008/ 07/ 03/ judge-...
In the long-running Viacom vs. YouTube case - one that falls into the "desperately trying not to adapt" category - a judge has ruled that the Google-owned video site has to turn over a record of every user who has ever watched a YouTube video, either on the site or embedded in another site (a database that the judge's ruling estimates would amount to 12 terabytes). Viacom is apparently trying to prove that copyright-infringing video clips from its shows are among the most popular content in the YouTube universe, and therefore YouTube should have to pay more in damages as a result of the infringement.
