Seriously, You Have No Privacy. Get Over It.
So much for privacy on YouTube. The federal judge presiding over Viacom’s $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit against Google and YouTube denied a motion for the pair to produce their source code Wednesday. “YouTube and Google should not be made to place this vital asset in hazard merely to allay speculation,” U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton wrote. Apparently he didn’t feel quite as strongly about the privacy of YouTube users, because he felt entirely comfortable turning that over to the media company.
