Viacom Sued Over YouTube Parody Removal from the Associated Press reports that Viacom has been sued by several activist groups for allegedly forcing YouTube to remove a video of “The Colbert Report.” But Viacom says it never made such a request.
The suit was filed in part by Electronic Frontier Foundation and Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society in U.S. District Court in San Francisco a week after Viacom sued YouTube. Google and YouTube were not named in the latest lawsuit.
