Viacom having it both ways


Mega-media conglomerate Viacom is suing Youtube for $1 Billion for copyright infringement.

By the time Viacom filed its $1 billion lawsuit, BayTSP had amassed more than 160,000 unauthorized videos, snippets from "South Park," "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," "SpongeBob SquarePants" and other popular shows owned by MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and other Viacom networks. YouTube says it took all those videos down.
It's hard to feel sorry for Viacom, considering this:
On Comedy Central's Web site, users watching a video like this episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart can click a button that renders code they can simply copy and paste to embed the video on a MySpace.com page or other Web site.
