Viacom according to this is unhappy with You Tube:
NEW YORK (AP) - Media company Viacom Inc. (VIAB), which owns the cable networks MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon and the Paramount Pictures movie studio, asked YouTube on Friday to remove more than 100,000 unauthorized clips from its hugely popular video-sharing site.
Viacom said in a statement that after several months of talks with YouTube and its corporate parent, the online search leader Google Inc. (GOOG) (GOOG), "it has become clear that YouTube is unwilling to come to a fair market agreement that would make Viacom content available to YouTube users."
Viacom said that YouTube and Google had failed to deliver on several "filtering tools" to control unauthorized video from appearing on the hugely popular site.
They haven't filed suit but it sounds as if they will if You Tube doesn't act soon. Really this just goes to show that what You Tube needs to do is crack down on people that violate the policy. It's clearly listed what you can and cannot post as a video. It just ruins things for all of us when people can't follow simple directioins.
