Viacom is a big lame piece of sh*t. Sumner Redstone can suck my... okay, let's keep this civil.
I detest greed. That is what this $1 billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube amounts to... GREED! Well, yes, they are also threated by the future. If you read MySpace and Facebook profiles you will increasingly find people saying that they "don't really watch TV." This is a threat to Viacom. If you look at their website you will discover that they pretty much own cable. Some examples, Viacom owns Comedy Central, MTV (and all incarnations of MTV), VH1, CMT, BET, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, TV Land... and the list goes on. First I had to turn my back on mainstream music, thanks to the Napster situation, now it is time for my slight lingering desire to watch cable television to completely dissipate. I have no tolerance for greed, and that is how I feel about Viacom and all associated properties. Sumner Redstone is a total greedy piece of sh*t.
While reliance on mainstream entertainment is slowly diminishing it scares the heck out of companies like Viacom. Yes, they still dominate and will for at least a decade, they can not stop progress and Viacom's version of "entertainment" is outdated and outmoded.
The fact of the matter, I would be willing to bet that all those clips of the Daily Show, Colbert Report and South Park that used to show up on YouTube increased the number of viewers of those shows, increasing not only the value of those shows, but also the value of the advertising slots. Viacom OWES YouTube.
As for the comment about not caring if they know what I watch, I do understand that there is a bigger picture here. It is not okay for companies to demand private information. My point is simply that I am not afraid of Viacom. They can not bully me around. I will note, that having once been a big fan of many of their networks, waging this battle against their "customers" was a stupid thing. Any chance they ever had of keeping me, or wooing me back is completely out the window. I am seriously considering canceling my cable subscription, while letting the cable company know that it is because I am opposed to Viacom's actions.
As for Frito-Lay and Doritos. I am certain that there are thousands of companies advertising with Viacom, based on the number of networks they hold. I only single them out, because one of the few remaining shows that I do watch is "The Colbert Report" which clearly has Doritos has a in-show sponsor.
If we are to boycott some of these companies, it perhaps would be best to select a few to target. If we can get even one major sponsor to drop their advertising, or at least question Viacom about it when it comes time to renew their advertising contract, at least our voices will be heard, regardless of the fact that I am certain they will not drop their case. I can only hope that justice will prevail and Viacom will have their a** handed to them.
Anyway, that is a lot of words, but you don't mess with my beloved YouTube. I am angry about this matter, and I HATE GREED.
Thanks for reading. Read all you want, I'll write more.

Viacom vs you. Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled.
The ruling comes as part of Google's legal battle with Viacom over allegations of copyright infringement.
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called the ruling a "set-back to privacy rights".
The viewing log, which will be handed to Viacom, contains the log-in ID of users, the computer IP address (online identifier) and video clip details.
While the legal battle between the two firms is being contested in the US, it is thought the ruling will apply to YouTube users and their viewing habits everywhere.
Viacom, which owns MTV and Paramount Pictures, has alleged that YouTube is guilty of massive copyright infringement.
The UK's Premier League association is also seeking class action status with Viacom on the issue, alleging YouTube, which was bought by Google in 2006, has been used to watch football highlights.
Legal action
When it initiated legal action in March 2007 Viacom said it had identified about 160,000 unauthorised clips of its programmes on the website, which had been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.
Following the launch of its billion-dollar lawsuit, YouTube introduced filtering tools in an effort to prevent copyright materials from appearing on the site.
The US court declined Viacom's request that Google be forced to hand over the source code of YouTube, saying it was a "trade secret" that should not be disclosed.
But it said privacy concerns expressed by Google about handing over the log were "speculative".
Google's senior litigation counsel Catherine Lacavera said in a statement: "We are disappointed the court granted Viacom's over-reaching demand for viewing history.
"We will ask Viacom to respect users' privacy and allow us to anonymise the logs before producing them under the court's order."
The ruling will see the viewing habits of millions of YouTube users given to Viacom, totalling more than 12 terabytes of data.
Viacom said it wanted the data to "compare the attractiveness of allegedly infringing video with that of non-infringing videos."
YouTube and Google had "compelled" it to go to court, Viacom said, "by continuing to defend their illegal and irresponsible conduct and profiting from copyright infringement, when they could be implementing the safe and legal user generated content experience they promise".
It said it would not be asking for any "personally identifiable information" of any user.
"Any information that we or our outside advisors obtain will be used exclusively for the purpose of proving our case against You Tube and Google (and) will be handled subject to a court protective order and in a highly confidential manner."
'Erroneous ruling'
Leading privacy expert Simon Davies told BBC News that the privacy of millions of YouTube users was threatened.
He said: "The chickens have come home to roost for Google.
"Their arrogance and refusal to listen to friendly advice has resulted in the privacy of tens of millions being placed under threat."
Mr Davies said privacy campaigners had warned Google for years that IP addresses were personally identifiable information.
Google pledged last year to anonymise IP addresses for search information but it has said nothing about YouTube data.
Mr Davies said: "Governments and organisations are realising that companies like Google have a warehouse full of data. And while that data is stored it is under threat of being used and putting privacy in danger."
The EFF said: "The Court's erroneous ruling is a set-back to privacy rights, and will allow Viacom to see what you are watching on YouTube.
"We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad request and Google to take all steps necessary to challenge this order and protect the rights of its users."
The body said the ruling was also potentially unlawful because the log data did contain personally identifiable data.
The court also ruled that Google disclose to Viacom the details of all videos that have been removed from the site for any reason.

You won't find out about the Butterfart in school, encyclopedias, Google or even Wikipedia. That's because it's a rare species of butterfly that has an audible and potently smelly fart. The gas is not toxic, but it frightens children.

In this song the twangy keyboard instrument you can hear is a clavinova. Lovely, isn't it? I had to pre-record me playing that, then playing the uke, then singing, so this is quite clearly a lip-sync, as you will find is the case with any music video out there. :)

Though it's close to midnight
And the conversation's getting slow,
No don't invite your friends
I don't want this moment here to end.
BRB, OMG, LOL,
ROFLMAO.

This is a two and a half minute short about a girl named Olivia who is accidently left behind by her family as they go on their annual holiday to Wales. The film explores Olivia's naivety and imagination as she tries to find her own way there.
[Please watch in High Quality. ]
The film was planned, written, composed, shot and edited in under two weeks and was made on a £7 budget. (Obviously not including our camera)
We made our own steadycam from scratch for £5; the remaining £2 was spent on sweets, string (for the fishing rod) and the tape we used. We are only young-ish (19 and 20, respectively) so we're not exactly rich and it proves that you do not always need to spend a lot of money to make a film.
