Viacom Sues Google

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Viacom, a media company, has recently sued Google for $1 billion, for the copyright infringement on the website YouTube. More lawsuits are predicted to come from the company Viacom, who claims the website YouTube has infringed on its copyrights. It is a battle of two giants and the outcome is less than certain.

Over 160,000 clips of materials owned by Viacom have been viewed over a billion times, reports the company. In addition to damages, Viacom wants Google to ensure it will not infringe on such copyrights again.
