Viacom not ready to make nice with Google
Did you think, after Google announced its YouTube Video Identification tool, that Viacom would drop its $1 billion lawsuit? Don't count on it. Though he told me Viacom general counsel Michael Fricklas was "delighted" with the tool, Viacom spokesperson Jeremy Zweig is saying the tool changes nothing. "It doesn't have any impact," Zweig said. "Or at least it's very premature to try and figure out the impact it could have on the litigation." (Photo by AP)
