[mozaks80]

Shalom baby! Gotta get me some shekels yo!

[zr1zora]

fuck google they knew what thell theyw ere doing i say shut down retarted u tube

[bnbedits]

1 million dollars? Is Dr. Evil running Viacom?

[ZaMouse26]

Why did the creators of YouTube sell it to Google, anyway!? Then this never would've happened! Someone should make a new YouTube so we don't have to deal with this bulls***!!!

[mrm64Again]

SCREW. YOU. VIACOM!!!!!!

[malinko35]

can't stand those greedy jews

[kuki2dmax]

call the police and let them arrest viacom and shut them down we did not do anything to viacom all they want is money go to hell viacom we hate you!

[TheAC29]

Youtube isn't doing this for money incuding Google, they're doing this for people who hasn't watched or missed some videos from TV Shows, Movies, etc.. Viacom is the one who keeps thinking about is money and what does it have to do with Youtube and Google about copyright infringment? We don't care about the copyright laws

Sumner Redstone, you're doing this for money who keeps suing Youtube and Google. If you wanna fight Youtube and Google we users joined the fight for our own rights.

[LightHikaru1]

Why dose Viacom haves to sue YouTube for! We didn't do anything to Viacom, right!

[Motarify]

@LightHikaru1, learn how to spell.

[Ivan056able]

YOUTUBERS!!! There's still people who don't know what's going on, we need to spread the word to everybody!! WE CAN'T LET THEM WIN!!! WE NEED TO TELL THAT TO FAMOUS YOUTUBERS, UNFAMOUS, STUPID, INTELLIGENT, GAMERS,FAGS, EVERYBODY!! THIS IS WHEN WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS!!!

And for viacom:

SUCK MY DICK!!

[iTsKoNvIcT]

@The101homer yup most of the cause was ytps

[Motarify]

@iTsKoNvIcT, none of the cause was Youtube's.

Viacom is the one making all of these false Copyright infringement Claims.

If you're going to speak about the whole situation, at least LEARN MORE about how it started, and who's really responsible for it.

[TDUupdaterHD]

Viacom steals other peoples videos on Spike.com

SCREW VIACOM

[IronKatana4]

Redstone is a fucking hypocrite!!!!!!!! 

[thavador]

WIN for both sides: a Viacom Youtube channel with just 5 minute samples from latest Viacom shows + embedded links to Viacom's online video platform inside the descriptions and the channel itself. That would be it on the pure logical term...

[AnnaDarko]

Well a lot of people HAVE to watch Viacom stuff on youtube or somewhere else because they can't watch the videos on the official site because they're only available in the US.

It's not europe's fault that they sell their rights for shows for ridiciously high prices...

[superkool2]

What The F****.VIACOM FUCK YOU!

[Elmeromero1]

what hapen if vicom buy goolgle then vicom will buy you tube and vicom on nick for kids well wher we will wach vidoes wher dont tell me on sipe .com vicom home is ther i see ceo is going to vicom this is craze for kids it must stop!!!!!! )=

[bosscitywhitey]

google > viacom.

[guy2008rules]

@bosscitywhitey, Thank YOU! Viacom can go F*ck themselves

[PSXDubai12]

"YouTube is owned by Google" Wow i never knew thanks for pointing that out

[asmoxbaby]

MICROSOFT will come to the aid of Viacom. There is a bigger plot in the crock pot. The future of internet media will be merged by ......... do the math

[Gold815108]

They are biting the had that feeds them It's bad business, bad for their image. No one wins not Viacom not Google and especially not us.

[Gold815108]

0H COME TO OUR SIGHT oh give US your money BULL SHIT BULL SHIT BULL SHIT BULL SHIT BULL SHIT

[skyphor]

The don't lose money because of copyrighted stuff, they lose money because we won't take Viacom's shit anymore and BAN their products since 4 years.

[sweetheart2109]

@skyphor Viacom been starting trouble for years. Remember the whole time warner cable issue last year? viacom is probably even in more trouble because google discover that viacom themselves been uploading their clips on youtube

[wal3290]

Viacom's manager should burn down all the Viacom companys all ofer the world and should "sue" themselfs for being "mentaly retarded" and making toys that shows very inapropret stuff like the Patrick Pillow Buddy.I mean come on if you ever find a picture look at his belly button and then look at the flower pattern on his pants.People have complained about that and many others.I hope this helped.

[haqim123456789]

is the sueing over????? cause this video is since 2007 so am i right??

[k1llgor3]

Profit can not be lost for nothing is purchased.

[Dandramere]

That woman is a fucking moron lol.

[lukeyboy118]

well no one's gonna use viacom if they sue youtube. all hell will break loose if youtube is removed.

[gourleycoinsDOTcom]

This is ridiculous. Win or lose, I am going to try and avoid helping viacome make any money. I will avoid the following channels/programs...

Comedy Central, Logo, BET, Spike, TV Land, Nick@Nite, Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nick Jr., MTV, VH1, MTV2, CMT, Palladia.

I will only buy their movies/media used. If enough people do the same, we could cost them billions.

[ArgentDawn55]

They should sue the people posting the copyrighted material not youtube.

[thatstek]

Actually (I think) because it is on their site, it is Youtubes problem. The user is immune (unless viacom finds your details and sends you a notice).

[BIGJJ1324]

well they said they probably are so if you have had some video's taken down due to copyright you better watchout

[csaoxcs]

@ArgentDawn55

They said they wanted the ability to remotely destroy any computer that they SUSPECT have copyrighted material in them by using a virus.

And I am pretty sure they aren't just going for direct copys of the material, but also edited material. Just look at youtube... like atleast 50% of the videos contain edited copyrighted material

[ilikemilkinwinter1]

Fuck Viacom all they think about is money

[VideoDocR]

@ilikemilkinwinter1 Totally agree, fuck themmmmmm

[NoGoOh]

lol i understyand booth sides that youtube should be more protected but i don't think viacom should sue youtube up to 23 billion dollars thats like 161 billion norwegian money !!!

[jimijable]

Money all they fucking care about Viacom go suck a dick you twats.

[geemet]

fuck these fucks. THIS IS THE INTERNET. YOU CAN NOT STOP IT.

[haqim123456789]

YEAH have to ask billgates first he owns the internet...am i right??

[Jackozi87]

why doesn't bill there own site like youtube down load there shows 2 prevent this!!! So we can continue to watch our youtube videos and they could shut the fuck up and stop complaining about free commerical for there show( which is youtube)

[PainlessTragedy]

It just happened again this time they are seizing all our Data, Comments, Privacy fails again on youtube. I did delete my Inbox, comments etc for safety but I understand I'm gonna be in the redline so I left my Favorites up - all 600+ videos exposing the Illuminati, many was removed on bogus violations.

[raffa0001]

FUCKOFF VIACOM

[1alopezpr]

The problem is,that some companies that had their web page,most of the time aren't posting the most recent episodes,or don't have follow up on back episodes or seasons,because that lack of material,people start to look somewhere else.They getting slow to keep up with the internet,and slower in their evolution.Like I say,is hard for an old dog,to learn new tricks.People shouldn't be blame,or charge for their fault.

[frylok753]

I hearby declare viacom and everyone associated with it in a good way full fleshed retards, winning a lawsuit against google, it would be easier to go out during a thunderstorm and dodge rain, easier to walk without your heels or toes touching the floor, and easier to be pixking fly shit off of pepper with boxing gloves!!!!!!

(credit to avgn for making those phrases up)

>:)

[DeltaPhi79]

Maybe it should go on the news that Viacom is filing copyright infringement ON NORMAL USERS WHO MAKE *PERSONAL* VIDEOS! People have proof of it too.

[rangu66]

Okay.. Viacom is the entertainment's version of Hitler. dictatorship at it's best refusing to allow our freedom of "sharing" videos with our friends have you ever invited a friend over to watch Television with you? well If Viacom knew that person didn't pay for Satellite,Cable,Digital Cable I guarantee Viacom would interfere with that happening.. Viacom is the unofficial police using the internet to exploit our rights as "Americans" or whatever government you're under Viacom is taking advantage

[rangu66]

Of the government using socialistic advances taking advantage of all of it's opportunities to become a modern Napoleon and tell you what to watch and how to watch it Viacom is absurd and Ignorant. welcome to the 21st century Viacom you're not welcome... all of this from a 16yr old Kid sorry to inform you Viacom but you just got your ass handed to you

[iamextra1]

fuck viacom.

[progressivereviews]

most of the shit from viacom is free on the respective websites i.e. Colbert Report is free on its website, Hulu has permission to post viacom videos. All they are saying is that you can have this free, just not on youtube...in my view its a pointless lawsuit that will prove nothing and will have limited benefit.

[KTPax]

Oh really Viacom? ...And where is your proof of these infringements? ... In your ass you say? Hmm...

[disneychannel32]

viacom is such a bitch !

[imanoobTV]

if they shut youtube down im going to start a riot then burnt there building down and every person that works there.

lol i wish

[stnchplc]

fuck viacom

[wishonAmoon]

FUCK VIACOM!!!! GO TO HELL!!!!

[Ceribous]

i thought youtube was a place were you can express the things on your mind like nowa days viacom is killing youtube.

[kataang4evah]

that guy has it spot on, even if viacom shuts down youtube. what makes them think we are going to go a watch videos on there site!!!!!! FUCKING IDIOTS!

[schliepsiek]

Lets just stop buying stuff owned by viacom and show them what it truly means to loose money.

[DolittleMccoy]

I have an image in my mind of what these ppl that work for Viacom Company look like. I bet they are your basic Suit and Tie wearing Pricks. Probably carring a brief case talking on a Cell phone on there way to there New Mercades... I'd like to be the guy thats up on top of it Stomping the Damn Windshield out of it.

[fffffffff7]

Viacome can suck a cock and then choke on it and die right after that little homo has his climax.

[PureJerashi]

Rejected (copyright infringement)

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International Inc.

It took me forever uploading that video, fuck them !! copyrights my ass.. I am not selling it !! i am just sharing it with others..

[sherifsaid12345]

viacom FUCK YOU AND I HOPE EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS VIACOM DIES AND BURNS in HELL so right NOW VICOM YOU CAN TAKE THIS COMMENT AND SHOVE IT UP your ASS you COCK SUCKING PIECES OF SHIT

[spinydelta1]

well said..

[DjDrift67]

hey im fighting viacom so fuck u

eat this gernade viacom

[TutorialMan95]

Oh plz. Viacom can suck my ballz for all i give a shit. Fuck off viacom!

[insanebluekat]

Google and Viacom, on July 14, 2008, agreed in compromise to protect YouTube users' personal data in the $ 1 billion (£ 497 million) copyright lawsuit. Google agreed it will make user information and internet protocol addresses from its YouTube subsidiary anonymous before handing over the data to Viacom.

[ilovekh11012007]

that's a govenment act dude, right to have youtube hand over all personal info that we put down when we register for youtube names and such dude look at my videos that deal with the nwo and fema

[trainxing100]

Viacom is just pissed because they dont get paid from us watching their shit ass videos on youtube, thats pathetic! Dumb little cock suckers

[thespiritmage]

People go to YouTube as opposed to Viacom related websites to watch videos is because their videos load like shit. It's faster on YouTube.

[Attani]

Search "viacom", bomb cyberly.

[cooldog61593]

fuck you viacom there wacthing all of us now wacth what you do.

VIACOM IS MAKING PROMOTION MONEY OUT OF UTUBE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK VIACOM do the BBC or any other channel who has all there stuff ON TUBE sue utube to make money more comercial money NO!!!!!!!!!!

[felinoid]

BBC and Fox have YouTube channels for promotional purposes. Also Viacom is legendary for ignoring fair use and going after fan sites.

[silverfox2358]

I absolutely agree with you this should be raised in the defence of utube by there lawyers in court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Americans :) & have logistical & political knowledge of your country & its laws that i don't :) So could you please pass this argument on to utubes legal defence team!!!!!!

I can only protest by putting silly videos with "chopper Reid" to offend & insult VIACOM'S massive ego & boost your moral support & raise awareness for this campaign

[UndergroundVariety]

what the hell are they gunna do if they no ive been watching copyrighted videos?

some one answer

[ViacomSucksDiick]

yes someone tell me too

[fffffffff7]

sweet name :)

[SimsRealityNetwork]

If Viacom shut down Youtube I would BOYCOTT them

for life. Youtube is like my hobby now. Although, It's now totally Viacom's fault. It's actually the people who upload the copyright material. So, If you love youtube, you're only harming them by doing that.

[vanillapopcutie]

i dont watch daily show on youtube or the others.. i watch other channels videos from interesting videos etc... this viacom thing is stupid. i mean look at metacafe and other sites that have buncha of copyrighted maerials

[myguineapig]

[octupus8]

Bullshit. Ads are only on copyrighted vids or sponsored vids and NO ONE CLICKS ADDS

[angierds]

[jiujitsu909]

[truthbeknowen]

[krammit25]

thx for the heads up...

[Attau]

I don't see ads on many youtube vids... esp. the ones that aren't supposed to be up.

[votethirdpartynow]

why didn't viacom start a channel on youtube and tell people to come on down?!

who's their marketing company?

fire those people!

[JohnnyCobalt]

Get over it Viacom- your days are numbered just like all the other mainstream entertainment corporations with their outdated business models. Most people are sick of you and your brainwashing crap anyway.

[imjfktoo]

I never get my shows from youtube, just some funny clips. they got torrents for the rest hahah F viacom, competitions a bitch isnt it.

[hrtlssassasin]

omfg! Its just about money, thats all they want.

GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

EVERYONE LIKES YOUTUBE.

[minimacpipowepo]

ummm.... weezer's video pork and beans is bout youtube stars and viacom owns nick and mtv and the song/video pork and beans came out on mtv!

[spfldnet]

Viacom has all its eggs in the old media basket. The Internet is killing the cable video star, so Viacom is trying to claw its way out of a grave.

[twilightrose333]

BOYCOTT VIACOM

[LucasGrabeelFan8]

[cybrax]

[ilovetinomartinez]

I hated Viacom once. For scaring me with that motherf***ing 'V of This' and 'V of That.'

Now, I hate them again. EVEN MORE.

DOWN WITH VIACOM!!!!

[DominusPrinceps]

How exactly does Youtube make money? there aren't any ad banners or anything (thankfully). And there's only a tiny logo for Google at the bottom. What gives? Google pays over a billion smackers, for what?

[megailadan]

FUCK U VIACOM U BUNCH OF FUCKING RETARDED NERDS YOU SUCK!!!!!! btw i ur the guy speaking there I HOPE U DIE youtube is a free rights of speach UR A BUNCH OF LITTLE GIRLS IM GONA SUE YOU FOR 1 BILLION DOLLARS YOUTUBE BECAUSE MY COMPANY IS LOOSING MONEY WAAAAAAA!!!!!

[jackrandall]

[Attani]

[Attani]

Where is V or The Narrator of Fight Club when u need them??

[legend519]

i remember the good ole days when u can post whatever u want. i feal like starting a group to buycot youtube.

[tiberianfallout]

attani...yea I know, that would at least be a good use of terrorism. hmmmmmm....we just have to find a way to get them alibaba's to associate viacom with satan instead of america.

[Attani]

True.

[neabear77]

viacom is nothing but a bunch of money hungry greedy fat bastards! bullies is all they are and they will not win, they will be taken down.

[LeoLiquor]

rofl, funny :P

[solidoxygen]

if youtube dies, im gunna kill myself infron tof viacom

[Attani]

Take them with you. Or better yet just do the V for Vendetta thing(but don't kill yourself).

[vfreeck]

Hey Viacom, put the shows that we like on TV and we wouldn't be uploading them ourselves for free. It's a simple equation. good shows + demadning viewers = Revenue.

[Attani]

Blow viacom back to Hell!

[Nutenrob]

Viacom took one of my video's off youtube

fucking assholes

[XXXSup3rN0vaXXX]

Greedy fools.

[Snobothehobo1]

Millions of people are starving in African countries but god forbid Viacom (a multi-billion dollar company) loses a few million dollars here and there.

[fightfan7]

Viacom must die

[SlaughteredInside]

Viacom, mark my words, You Will Fail.

[Neofcon]

WTF!? This is an outrage!
