Appeals court revives billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube by Viacom

http://j.mp/Hpm9iS  (New York Times)

   "A U.S. appeals court has revived lawsuits by Viacom Inc, the English
    Premier League, and various film studios and television networks
    accusing Google Inc of allowing copyrighted videos on its YouTube
    service without permission."

One irony here is that Viacom was apparently actively posting its own
copyrighted videos on YouTube under fake identities -- to try garner
"viral" publicity for those videos -- during the period in question.
