Earlier this week, in a conversation with a friend, I described YouTube as “potentially the biggest single copyright infringer in history.” It seems that Viacom may share my sentiment.
Now, just because I think that YouTube owes much of its existence to copyright infringement, it doesn’t mean that I agree with the laws that make it so. In fact, I think they’re an awful set of laws, from a public interest perspective. But who’s going to argue for the public interest?  Pretty much no one with any effectiveness. So I’d very much love to see a clash of the well-funded titans over this.
Here’s hoping.
