If this is how Viacom shows its appreciation, then I'm glad the Daily Show hasn't hired me! They'd give me the job and demand I pay them. What late 1990s thinking is this?:

Viacom, which owns MTV and Nickelodeon, says YouTube uses its shows illegally.



Viacom alleges that about 160,000 unauthorised clips of its programmes have been loaded onto YouTube's site and viewed more than 1.5 billion times.



Google says it is "confident" that YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders.



As well as more than $1bn in damages, the legal action seeks an injunction to prevent what Viacom calls "massive intentional copyright infringement".

booooooooo
