Viacom: All your YouTube viewing data are belong to us
By: Davey Winder
A judge has ordered that YouTube must hand over every record of every video watched by YouTube users to Viacom.

The data, contained on a set of four terabyte hard drives, is to be used to help Viacom prove that copyright infringing material is more popular than user-generated video content. And increase the liability of Google if Viacom wins its $1 billion copyright infringement case, of course. Meanwhile, it seems, all your YouTube viewing history belongs to Viacom...
