Add your response to Viacom Backs Out Of Web Venture Talks: Response from: Adult VOD (03/15/07 4:58pm) On March 13, 2007, after Google's licensing offer was turned down, Viacom filed a US $1 billion lawsuit against Google and YouTube alleging massive copyright infringement, alleging that users frequently uploaded copyrighted material to YouTube - enough to cause a hit in revenue for Viacom and a gain in advertisement revenue for YouTube. Response from: donate car (04/30/07 11:22am) The idea was to create a rival to YouTube--recently purchased by Google for $1.65 billion--that could potentially feature both prominent television programming from the participating companies as well as user-generated content, thus pulling ad dollars and traction away from YouTube.
