Uhh... Why did you want the IP addresses again, Viacom?

UPDATE: Google has asked Viacom to allow them to anonymize users' data:

"... We are asking Viacom to respect users' privacy and allow us to anonymize the logs before producing them under the court's order."

UPDATE: They got the permission:

"Google claims it had now agreed to provide plaintiffs' attorneys with a version of a massive viewership database that blanks out YouTube usernames and IP addresses that could be used to identify individual video watchers."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:24:11 -0700 http://hekkawhat.stumbleupon.com/review/23372862/ hekkawhat - Fuck you Viacom! Now stay off the internet!]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:57:34 -0700 http://djteka.stumbleupon.com/review/23266855/ djTeka - So we are in the wrong for wanting to see shows that we don't have the time to wait to see on TV, before Viacom takes down the video? Edit: Viacom, if I want to watch old Nickelodeon (or whatever tickles your fancy [that Viacom happens to own]) shows, but you don't provide them, what do I do? Wait until you care? No.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:43:14 -0700 http://sarahbliss.stumbleupon.com/review/23209379/ sarahbliss - Absolutely fucking nuts.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:46:52 -0700 http://jebi-of-eq2.stumbleupon.com/review/23188775/ Jebi-of-eq2 - fuck viacom.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:00:25 -0700 http://m-104.stumbleupon.com/review/23174728/ M-104 - Simply creepy. I'm probably not alone in mistrusting our large telecom corporations - especially since this wonderful business of unwarranted wiretapping - but for Viacom to demand users' IP addresses (and read toward the article's end for their really unreasonable demands) is a legal overreaction at best. At worst, this could be something a little darker than a copyright dispute.]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/07/judge-orders-yo.html
