That's funny. Google had no problem selling us out but when it came to protecting their own asses they told Viacom to kiss off and decided that now would be a good time to try and buddy-buddy with us again.Best part of the article: YouTube's employee information could prove crucial to Viacom's case against Google, as it could go a long way to proving how much knowledge YouTube has about piracy on the site. If YouTube employees knew what was uploaded to the site--or posted pirated clips themselves--YouTube could lose its protection under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.I'll go grab some popcorn.
