Guess I spoke too soon!

Wow but I would already think just by posting anywhere on the web then anyone can get that info. So we really don't have any privacy. Or maybe I am not quite understanding this whole thing :)
 
From what I understand there is a 'for attorneys eyes only" clause attached. But regardless of that, Viacom is asking for information they have no business asking for and certainly no right to. Them asking for every single users viewing information, to include IP's would be the equivalent of People magazine deciding that they wanted the information of anyone who ever looked at a copy of People that didn't purchase it or were simply in the vicinity of that magazine whether or not they even knew it was there. It's ludicrous to think that a judge found this acceptable. I could understand and would agree if they had presented YouTube with known violations and asked them to hand over the uploaders info, but they're asking and are getting EVERYONE'S info, regardless of what they watched or if they watched anything at all. It's nutso!
