[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 529797, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//images/youtube-logo-200-200.jpg[/IMG] The court battle between YouTube and Viacom - the owners of MTV and Paramount Pictures - has reared its ugly head again. A US court has ruled that YouTube must hand over details of every video watched on its site since its inception AND the IP addresses of those who have watched what video. This comes after the long and drawn-out copyright battle between the two companies, which started in March 2007. Viacom has accused YouTube of massive copyright infringement, where 1,600 unauthorised clips have said to have been viewed on the site a total of 1.6 billion times. [B]Set-back to privacy rights[/B] Speaking about the ruling, a spokesperson for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has said: "The Court's erroneous ruling is a set-back to privacy rights, and will allow Viacom to see what you are watching on YouTube. "We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad request and Google to take all steps necessary to challenge this order and protect the rights of its users."
