Viacom Sues Google/YouTube for $1 Billion

Just in - Viacom, who recently sent 100,000 DMCA notices to YouTube, has now sued Google and YouTube for $1 billion. They contend that more than 160,000 infringing videos are available and have been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.

A while back, rumor had it that Viacom was going to strike a deal with Joost. Perhaps they think it needs to be exclusive.
