1. Youtube is a site where CNN,Fox,NBC,ABC,CBS and Viacom can be exposed

for your bs and lies. US corp owned media sucks

[Enthusiast]

3. +1 And this is

the real reason future service might be interrupted or censored.

[Rage Inc.]

2. I completely agree with Toobin

How dare YouTube allow people outside the media elites access?!? Next they'll be saying that people have a right to clean water and uncontaminated food!

6. Wow, THATS not an absurd extreme!

You equate creative content with food and water?

4. Redstone is an &^%$#

The major news: It appears Viacom had its eye on YouTube as an acquisition target for some time before all the drama hit. According to documents filed by Google, 187-year-old Viacom honcho Sumner Redstone offered to buy YouTube before Google did. Weirder still, at one point Viacom execs wanted Google to go in on the purchase. Talk about kinky.

After YouTube spurned Viacom's offers and hooked up with Google, Redstone decided that YouTube is just a copyright slattern, a Website of easy virtue -- thus, Viacom's $1 billion suit against Google. Per Viacom's official statement yesterday:
