I think they have commenting disabled on their page though, after receiving several thousand "F U" types of comments from other users who had their videos deleted thanks to Viacoms complaints. @26 thizzle - No, you're not the only one. There are many brain dead idiots like you who have all the class of a trailer park garbage dumpster. @30 gunnersfan - Oh, just STFU a$$hole.

They absolutely knew what they were getting in to when they bought Youtube.The wink and nod towards the big media companies about copyright infringement was all BS by Google. Not that the media companies are exempt from scorn,as they deserve a bunch.To act like google isn't deserving of some here is ridiculous. "Google says the threat comes from Viacom’s attempt to make “carriers and hosting providers” liable for what people post." Notice what they didn't say in that statement:Who was liable. They try to say it shouldn't be their fault,so who do you think they want Viacom to blame? I can’t believe any poster would defend Google here.

On top of that the managers/finance department most likely don't appreciate the cost of running a high bandwidth server. Even if they do succeed in making YouTube remove all their content and launch their own site, I can't really see myself watching their site unless it's as simple as youtube, allowing me to fast forward and backward in the clip and send the link to friends as easily.

They just want to keep 100% of the ad revenue for themselves. Except they don't actually make money from posting their videos online, which is what the writers strike was all about. So on one hand they're saying they're losing money hand over fist because of Youtube, but on the other they're telling their writers there was never any money to be made in the first place. I'm confused.

At least they discussed that previously. Also, the smartest move for Viacom would probably be making an agreement with Youtube through which they get part of the revenue from ads that they post on their "channel". Not only would this give Viacom some money in their pocket, it would also lower the amount of Viacom clips posted by other users. Add this together with increased publicity and consumer goodwill and I bet they would have a lot to gain, especially in higher DVD sales.

So, traffic would drop and the website would certainly be worth no where near $1.65 billion. The Google parasite has deep pockets and it's time for them to cough some cash!
