Viacom kind of has a point though. A humongous chunk of Youtube's content is copyrighted material that really shouldn't be there. And they really make it extraordinarily difficult to get that content removed. It's almost like Youtube WANTS that illegal content to stay there as long as it can… hmm. I don't see why they can't just have users flag videos for copyright, and then have a staffer check the video to see if the flag is real and not just spam. It seems really weird that the only way to get a video removed for copyright violation is by having your lawyer send a C&D letter to Youtube.

Team Youtube! Though I think it would be hard to find someone that is Team Viacom.

anyone who's worked in an ad agency in nyc has uploaded a video to youtube for viacom. c'mon now.
