» sued</h1> <article> <h1>Viacom are you kidding me?</h1> <p>Jacqui Best — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:20:16 +0000</p> <p>So today, like usually I open up my browser and my little iGoogle comes up. On my iGoogle I have a foxnews.com plug-in. Anyway, that really isn’t t that important. So I see some obnoxious headline that reads along the lines of “Viacom to know all users of youtube”. Now this strikes a cord with me. I am thinking.. wtf? Ok lemme read this nonsense. So I click on the article and I start to read how Viacom has sued google(youtube) for 2 different things. One is that the want the source for youtube.. yeah right.. that isn’t total trade secret type stuff. They probably only want it so that they can steal it and put up a sight selling their stuff. It doesn’t really matter though cause they lost that part. The second part is the biggie… they are now to be supplied with 5TB drives worth of our personal information. The judge.. who IMHO has his head in his rear obviously doesn’t understand the HUGE difference between having someone IP address.. and having their REAL address. This is what he based his decision on, that since other you-tubers can see our ip, then we have no right to “expect” privacy. Obviously no geeks in his family to explain that just because the word address is in IP address doesn’t mean it is a PHYSICAL address. Now what is the reason Viacom has their panties in a wad? Oh really simply stuff here.. it is because we all want to watch snippets of South Park.. sigh.. I mean really do they need to keep who killed Kenny under lock and key?</p> <p><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"></a> </p> </article> </main></body></html>
