Fresh updates have come from the courtroom on the Legal Battle between Google Youtube vs Viacom.

You will like how Viacom asked for the house-keys of Google Youtube with it’s list of demands, which includes:

• Youtube User Data and Logging Histories
• Copies of all current and deleted videos (including private videos!)
• Source Code of Google Advertising Schema
• Source Code for Google Search Engine (and Viacom will do what with that :-)

If you keep Internet economy and content privacy aside for a minute, Viacom sure is showing Goolge how to make a living with just a legal team.

Now the judge has agreed to some demands, and said no to others.
