[ VIDEO shaing website YouTube must handover records of each clip watched on the site to media giant Viacom (Video & Audio Communications).

The date, time and IP address (computer address) of each person who watched it must also be given after a US court ruling.

US District Court judge Louis Stanton granted Viacom access to the records as part of its ongoing copyright infringement lawsuit against Google and its subsidiary YouTube but the move could have major implications for online privacy around the world.

A "Logging" database records the user ID and IP address of the viewer, the date and time of the request and the ID of the clip, and includes details of videos embedded on websites other than YouTube.

In response to Google's claim that providing the data would be too difficult, Judge Stanton said: "While the Logging database is large, all of its contents can be copied on to a few 'over-the-shelf' four-terabyte hard drives."

"The motion to compel production of all data from the Logging database concerning each time a YouTube video has been viewed on the YouTube website or through embedding on a third-party website is granted."

Viacom wanted access to the database in a bid to prove that clips allegedly infringing copyright, such as scenes from TV shows and movies, were more popular than user-generated videos.

But the judge denied Viacom's requests for access to other Google and YouTube properties, including the search engine's source code – including the algorithms it uses to provide search results.

The media conglomerate launched legal action against YouTube in February last year, when it issued over 100,000 takedown notices to the website regarding material in breach of copyright.

The following month it instigated a $1billion lawsuit against Google and YouTube.

It alleged that the video-sharing website hosted over 150,000 unauthorised clips that had been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.

Viacom is an American media conglomerate with various worldwide interests in cable and satellite television networks and movie production and distribution.]

Just goes to show how greedy these elite Jews really are, pecking at each other like vultures.

Fuck copyrights, viacom is jewmedia and so is google but I don't feel comfortable about this, they are probably collecting people who watched prothink, wwiii, TiU and the rest just to track how many 'anti semites' are there. Well fuck'em we out number them and they can't do shit.

(In my Michael Collins Pipers voice) Well, that's good to hear, because everyone here knows that I love the Jewish religion and people and will always defend the State of Israel whenever from whomever!

Ughh, that was so digusting that I can't please I even could type it, I have to throw up now.

So, just what are they up to here???  Do they intend on arresting anyone that watches an Alex Jones video, or, Force Multiplication, Prothink, etc., - everyone they deem anti-semitic or anti-jewish?  Their surveillance techniques are becoming more sickening and ludicrous every day.

Damn........
