Dear Google, I love you but…

3rd July, 2008 - Posted by Chance -

Dear Google, I love you, but if you turn over my personally identifiable information about my YouTube viewing habits in your court case against Viacom I’ll be sure to join the class action suit that will most surely be brought against you. You see, I realize that Viacom is a litigious organization and the only reason they could possibly want my personally identifiable information such as my username, IP address, etc. is so they can either a) sue me or b) send me a DMCA shakedown letter like the RIAA has perfected. What this means, in a nutshell, is that potentially every user who has clicked a YouTube link and seen copyrighted material (on purpose or by accident) has a good chance of getting sued or harassed by the studios.  Rick Rolling will take on a whole new meaning. Don’t F*** this up Google. Love, Chance
