Google hit with Viacom bomb

Viacom dropped a bomb on Google and YouTube yesterday, filing a lawsuit in New York federal district court accusing the search giant and vid share site of massive copyright infringement. Entrepeneur and vocal YouTube critic Mark Cuban was unsurprisingly pleased with the suit, while most of the blogosphere reacted with derision. Tech lawyer Lawrence Lessig notes that the real questions will be whether YouTube has the "ability to control" uploads before they are identified as infringing.
