viacom youtube agrees deal privacy
Earlier we reported a court decision that handed over all YouTube user data to Viacom. As we know Viacom and YouTube are enmeshed in a lawsuit over copyrighted material uploaded to YouTube. The information was to assist Viacom in its case, but it was unclear why they needed user data to prove the amount of copyrighted material uploaded or viewed.

Recently the judge in Viacom's $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit ordered YouTube to turn over all data on videos watched by users -- including log ins and user's IP addresses. Seemingly violating the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), privacy advocates were concerned the ruling could allow Viacom to use the data for copyright lawsuits or marketing. KrK See Profile writes in: "Good news: The lawyers in the case representing both sides have come to a compromise agreement in which data will still be turned over to Viacom, but it will be anonymized; the user log ins and internet IP addresses will be blanked and removed." Of course, very often "anonymized data" isn't so anonymous.

Just before the holiday weekend, media giant Viacom (VIA) won a legal victory over YouTube that set off fireworks across the Internet. The July 1 ruling gave Viacom access to records of what people watch on YouTube, which is owned by Google (GOOG) and is the most popular video site on the Web. Bloggers and consumer advocates warned of the potential privacy violations, particularly if Viacom uses the information to track down and sue people who watch copyrighted video clips on the site.

Barence, following up on yesterday's news that Viacom is looking for videos uploaded by Google staff, links to an article at PC Pro, excerpting: "Google and Viacom have reached a deal to protect the privacy of millions of YouTube watchers. Earlier this month, a New York federal judge ordered Google to turn over YouTube user data to Viacom and other plaintiffs to help them prepare a confidential study of what they argue are vast piracy violations on the video-sharing site. 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."

Chances are you’ve heard recently about an order made by a judge for the Southern District of New York for Google to turn over user data to Viacom for videos uploaded to and played back on the megasite YouTube. The extent of the demand is quite extraordinary. The data Viacom has asked for stretches back a few years’ time, and seeing that the video host now serves user requests for billions of clips every month, Google’s compliance on the matter would no doubt toss this case firmly into the realm of very high-profile ligitation. Privacy advocates are atwitter.
