Viacom vs Google/You Tube

Viacom has initiated a legal case with Google over copyright infringement from videos posted. This is a landmark case in terms of information, technology capabilities, copyright, business models etc.

Please listen to one of the 45 minute programs on NPR about it, research the issues some and come to class ready to discuss. This will make up for some of the time we lost with the online class.
