Fred says it best:

I realize that the $1bn lawsuit that Viacom filed against Google and YouTube today is all about negotiating leverage.

I want to see Viacom prove the ‘massive and intentional copyright violations’ accusations in front of a jury of reasonable people.

Viacom’s press release. John Batelle’s emailed response from Google.
