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.

http://digg.com/politics/INVITATION_4
Please share this video with any channel or blog that you feel is dedicated to the truth. I would like to help support their work and help us both get more exposure.
If you are a blogger or someone on youtube who creates or uploads content to the web dedicated to the truth please contact me on youtube or dig so I can subscribe to you and help you get more exposure. The only way we can reach a broad audience is to combine our viewers to bring people of like minds together to expand on important issues that effect all of us today.
Depending on the content of the channel, I may or may not feel that our views are in line. I want to support channels that are inline with my channel. We may not agree on everything, but we at least need to have a similar core belief to start with or supporting each other would not make sense. I am not really looking to exclude blogs or channels, but I think this possible network needs to be composed of people with similar outlooks on political subjects. If our outlooks do not mesh, there are plenty of other networks out there that will fit better with your views.
I am doing this so that people who agree with my views can get more exposure for causes that I believe in like: ending the war and bringing our troops home. Stopping the devaluation of our currency. And most importantly, restoring our constitutional rights.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can shed new light on important subjects that will affect us all.

2 kinds of goodbye. I found this on digg dot com.
This is Steve saying goodbye to his brother who is off to Iraq. The second photo is Steve months later at his brothers funeral. Saying goodbye for the last time.
It is time for the American public to finally stand up for our soldiers so we dont ever have to see another photo like this for another family that lost a son in the war.
Here is a link to a video about our soldiers living conditions when they came back from the war.

Just in case the title ofthe video is confusing for some. This is not in any way me saying goodbye to youtube. The people who usually think these kind of things never watch the videos, they just read the titles and post a comment or jump to a conclusion. I just wanted to make sure people didnt confuse the title of the video with a statement for my channel.

I want to make one thing perfectly clear, just because a person looks at the possibility of a conspiracy doesn't mean they believe every single conspiracy that comes around. The point of this video is to show that things that before they were public knowledge, would have been called a conspiracy theory. People need to do their own research and just because you have an open mind about other theories then the general public accepts doesn't mean you just believe anything without the proper research.
Here are the links to the conspiracies listed in the video. These may not be the best links, but it is not my job to do your research for you. You need to find out all the available information yourself. This is just to get you some idea of the stories related to this video

We should never stop asking questions regarding events that appear in any way suspicious. If they have nothing to hide, then there should be no problem answering questions and giving the proper respect to either clear the names of the accused or indict them for crimes committed. Either way, people should never feel as if they should not ask the people in power the tough questions that need honest answers.

Most of the people I know don't even look at the most viewed page on youtube anymore and just click on the top rated because most of the most viewed videos tend to be videos that use misleading thumbnails of women to gain views that they otherwise would never get.

Since youtube has found a way to let you view partners only (excluding the channels that make videos and never get a dime for making them) on youtubes most viewed page, maybe they can filter out some of the adult style content as well. While some of the videos that are adult themed are not just lame soft core porn and are helpful information for people looking for it, it would still be nice to be able to click on a setting that would allow youtube to filter adult videos out if you don't want them on your searches or when you are looking at the most viewed videos of the day.
Sure there are more pressing things in the world, but sometimes these videos and titles get really annoying and most people don't seem to like them because almost half the time they have a rating of 2 stars or lower. That is pretty direct negative feedback of how the people feel about the videos that I am referring to. So I cant be totally alone in feeling this way.
I just wanted to make a video to see if other people agree that it would be nice to be able to filter them out. Let me know what you think. If you like this video and want to send it to youtube along with your thoughts just send it to the editor of youtube. Here is the email address:

If you want to support this channel, please send an email to the youtube editor and tell them that you support this channel and want to see it be made a partner and help raise money for these charities.
Here is the form I filled out:
Business Information

Video Category News & Politics
Video Upload Frequency About once a week
Additional Comments I want to help people learn more about the world around them and donate 100% of the earnings I would receive to the POW/MIA charity and to the orphanage of my choice. I don't want to receive any money personally. I don't make videos for the money & I never have. I think the money that I would generate can be better used elsewhere for the other people who could use it much more then me. I just want to help people see some things in a different way. Thank you for the consideration.
Here is their response (Form Letter):
Dear therealweeklynews,
Thank you for your interest in the YouTube Partner Program. Our goal is to extend invitations to as many partners as we can. Unfortunately we are unable to accept your application at this time. Applications are reviewed for a variety of criteria, including but not limited to the size of your audience, country of residence, quality of content, and consistency with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Use. Please review the program qualifications (http://www.youtube.com/partners) for a complete list of our criteria.As we continue to expand we hope to be able to accept a broader group of partners. We have registered your interest in the program and will continue to monitor your account for potential future acceptance into the program.
Thank you for your understanding.
Here is a second response they sent me (I think someone else filled out the partner form for me a second and third time)
Unfortunately we are unable to accept your application at this time. Your account does not contain sufficient original new content that represents the uniqueness of our community.
That is pretty funny considering all my content is new and original. This is the reason people get so mad at youtube. They cant even back up their own system. It is and always will be, who they want to support and who they dont. Thanks for all the support everyone.
Remember, I would not get a penny from becoming a partner. I am not asking for support to make money for myself.
My videos on this channel have been seen almost 1,000,000 times and has almost 6,000 subscribers. From what I can tell, there is no reason why this channel should not be a partner by their own definition. I believe this is just another way to censor channels like this.
