Viacom sues Google, YouTube for $1 billion - U.S. Business - MSNBC.com

NEW YORK - MTV owner Viacom Inc. sued the popular video-sharing site YouTube and its corporate parent, Google Inc., Tuesday, seeking more than $1 billion in damages on claims of widespread copyright infringement.

Viacom claims that YouTube has displayed nearly 160,000 unauthorized video clips from its cable networks, which also include Comedy Central, VH1 and Nickelodeon.

This is amusing. One has to wonder how long Google can go on infringing on copyrights before their house of cards comes crashing in. I have to also wonder how many people buy into the “do no evil” bit. Google has uses, some of them good, but ethical choices don’t appear to be one of their valued assets.
