Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Why are they getting information on videos that aren't even theirs? I'm not sure how users personal information is relevant. Hopefully Google appeals this before giving in to it.
Viacom also requested YouTube's source code, the code for identifying repeat copyright infringement uploads, copies of all videos marked private, and Google's advertising database schema.
That request probably brought up a big laugh from Google.

I bet Viacom wins actually. It would help the covert types in the government gain access to the code as well.

The judge already turned Viacom's request for the source code down. I'm sure the government is still interested in the logs though and keeping track of its citizens. With how much information Google keeps on its users they probably have logs at least back to the day they bought Youtube. Viacom might be getting in a little over their heads with this, I wonder if they even have the ability to store and parse that much data.
