Viacom Will Still Sue Google, Despite YouTube Piracy Filter
Viacom Says The Google Suit Is Still On from MediaPost reports that Viacom will continue its $1 billion suit over alleged copyright infringement on YouTube, even after Google launched its new YouTube piracy filter this week.
Viacom spokesman Jeremy Zweig said the video identification tool "doesn't have any impact" on the lawsuit. Zweig added that the new technology doesn't make any impact on what happened in the past, plus he added, "we don't even know if the technology works yet." Donald Verrilli, Viacom's attorney said, "We'd have been a lot happier if they'd put this in place when they launched."
