Google Ordered to Turn Over Youtube Records

A federal judge in New York has ordered Google to turn over to Viacom a database linking users of YouTube, the Web’s largest video site by far, with every clip they have watched there.


Quote:
For every video on YouTube, the judge required Google to turn over to Viacom the login name of every user who watched it, and the address of their computer, known as an I.P., or Internet protocol, address.

Re Google Ordered to Turn Over Youtube Records

From my understanding, watching a video - even pirated content - isn't illegal. I think what they may be up to is trying to calculate the damage by seeing how many times the pirated stuff was watched by unique individuals. Of course, I really have no idea what they are really up to. :shrug:
