Google vs. Viacom

To comment on what we did in class today, i strongly feel as though Viacom has no case against Google/YouTube what so ever. The law plainly states that if YouTube is asked to take anything off of their website and they comply, they can not be held liable. Its that simple. In my opinion, I dont know why Viacom even cares so much. This is free publicity for them and its not like they are losing money from this. I might understand if Viacom had their own website that showed clips from previous shows and they were losing hits, but that is not the case. From Viacoms stand point, this is just like having a product and someone else doing all of the advertising for you. They are just looking for another way to make an easy buck.
