Google, YouTube Trump Viacom In Lawsuit
In 2007, Viacom sued Google alleging that YouTube knowingly allowed pirated video to be posted online violating copyright. Viacom sought damages of $1 billion. In March 2010, Viacom managers had still been uploading video to YouTube and some had even tried to hide their tracks.
Now Google has won a landmark ruling as a judge threw out a $1 billion lawsuit brought by Viacom.
