Viacom clips disappearing off YouTube
Cory Bergman February 3rd, 2007
A day after Viacom demanded YouTube pull its TV video off the site, clips are beginning to disappear with a new message:
Normally in situations like these, the message is “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.” But in this case, YouTube is coming right out and saying it’s “copyright infringement.” Interesting.

Oh, no! No Jon Stewart clips to make ourselves feel validated over hating Bush! What’re we gonna do?!

doesn’t that leave them open to some liability? They’ve admitted the infringment right there on their sight.

since “they” didn’t upload the clips (presumably), they’re not admittng to anything…except some great publicity.
