YouTube and Google win over Viacom re: intellectual property

Click on this link to read a USA Today article (6-24-10) on Viacom's lawsuit against YouTube (now owned by Google).  Viacom sued YouTube for a billion dollars for copyright infringement and a judge has ruled in favor of YouTube.  Despite some self-incriminating statements by some of the YouTube execs, the judge found that YouTube had been doing a good job at identifying and taking down clips that violated copyright.  The trial has been extremely nasty and Viacom is expected to appeal.
