Viacom demands YouTube pull down videos

I am not the least bit surprised at this.  I enjoy YouTube very much, but the fact is, more than 50% of the content is pirated material.  If you livelyhood depended on the sale or content of the content of the material, you too would be upset by this:

Viacom Inc. has demanded that Google Inc.’s online video service YouTube pull down all of its video clips after they failed to reach an agreement, the company said.

About 100,000 video clips from Viacom-owned properties including MTV Networks and BET has been asked to be removed.

Viacom said its pirated programs on YouTube generate about 1.2 billion video streams, based on a study from an outside consultant.
