I am in the US this week where hard copies of The Onion lie around in cafes. I thought this article about the YouTube-Viacom clash was spot-on. "In a cease-and-desist letter sent to Google's attorneys last week,
media conglomerate Viacom demanded that YouTube immediately pull
400,000 ex-TV viewers from its industry-leading video-sharing site. "These viewers clearly belong to Viacom and its related
entertainment subsidiaries," stated the letter, which called the
co-opted viewership, "the result of an investment of hundreds of
millions of dollars by our company."
