- The Government has a plan of total destruction of this country piece by piece. If ever the voter wakes up we only have ourselves to blame after all we voted these Neo Cons in office. Look to Dr Paul for the truth

- My suggestion to people: look into using proxy servers on a regular basis. They allow you to access sites with some degree of anonymity.

- Many have watched you tube. By the numbers, we can''t jail them all.
I write music, screenplays, books.
I would certainly be much more motivated to excell, if there were some means of ...preventing replication and dispersal of my hard work, without any money coming to myself or my co-workers.
Anyone having a way to do this in realspace, and not just by threats, will no doubt surpass Bill Gates in realized wealty--and deservedly so--because the world needs motivated artists, artists that share common values in addition to lofty types.
Artists deserve to dream of the large life---and are currently largely deprived of that because no one is doing a Manhattan style discovery and invention process into how to phisically protect works in media, and how to controll dispersal without hijacking free speach. - Reply to this comment
- This appears to be a misuse of property rights to destoy a corporation. I hope Google and U-Tube appeal to Federal Court. I understand that copyrights are valuable property rights. However is this an enforcement of an economic right or intimidation of individual U-Tube users? Since consderation is slight, is the remedy of this judge disproportionate to the extent of subtrefuge?
As for Viacom, have your MBA bean counters calculated the value of incresed interest in their programs in terms of revenue growth? How about the opportunity costs of bad publicity? - Reply to this comment
- How could the judge award my privacy to a bunch of bankrupt embezzlers?

They own paramount. For them to go into bankruptcy, everybody will have to stop buying star trek DVDs.

Well, after their last four movies, and the next one promising to be an absolute joke, I think Paramount can safely say about the Star Trek franchise:
"It''s dead Jim!" - Reply to this comment

- the republicans want to control what we see. what we say, they want a report on all their citizens, they want big government (with their corporations running the show) unfortunately they brainwashed half of this idiotic population that rarely reads anything of importance outside of comic books.

- After the Viacom execs read these comments, there may never be a "comments section" on CBSnews.com again!
Someone up top will have thought that it was a bad idea. - Reply to this comment
- This Judge needs to be removed from the bench for violating our rights. Problem is they all think they are gods now and no one stops them.
If a judge violates the law in a decision it is grounds for their immediate removal from the bench. - Reply to this comment
- How about a class-action lawsuit against Viacom for invading our CONSTITUTIONAL privacy!
I think we all have a case! - Reply to this comment

- The Bushies never give up! It''s like the line in British crime shows - "Anything you do or say will be taken down and used against you." What next? Mandatory webcams running "BushTube, the site that watches YOU" ??
A couple of more rulings like this and our once-great country is gonna end up like East Germany, where half the population was spying on the other half. All hail King George II!! - Reply to this comment
- Viacom is attempting to equate Youtube with a p2p network. I can''t wait to see how they will justify suing people who watch a video on Youtube - why else would they want these user details? The videos posted on Youtube are from fans sharing their enthusiasm for TV shows, movies, games, music and even commercials in creative ways, and from purely legitimate sources. Viacom along with every entity that claims a copyright can demand that Youtube remove videos, so there is no motivation for requesting viewer''s details except pure greed.

- Its not like the majority of people who post vids on youtube are making money.... most are just sharing things they like so that others can enjoy the vids as well. Hell most post up "dont arrest me im just a fan blah blah..." *shrug*

- MY vote? NO advertising whatsoever if one pays nearly 70 dollars a month for internet service. How about THAT, eh?

Why there is so much ignorance or lack of foresight on the part of average working citizens in this country I''ll never understand. When I was a kid and cable started coming up in popularity I knew it was bad news. It was just a matter of time when all it would result in is propaganda, high cost to the consumer and more advertising than ever before. Privatization is really about taking power away from the majority of inhabitants of society and placing power into the hands of a small number of oligarchs empowered by corporate charters. Our nation is being sold off to special interest oligarchs. - Reply to this comment
