In case you hadn’t heard yet, Viacom is suing Google for the private information of YouTube users. This video is an (entertaining) introduction to the issue.
While Philip Defranco doesn’t get to tie Viacom story until about halfway into the video, his rants are still entertaining enough to carry it through until then.
The thing you have to wonder is if the judge involved with this ruling actually doesn’t know a thing about how the internet works or if he does and just doesn’t care because money speaks. Loudly.
That is just pure speculation on my part, but I can’t help but feel like this is the first fall down a very ugly slope.
