Viacom vs. Google/YouTube

After reading the article, Viacom suing Google and YouTube for 1$ Billion, I just wanted to talk a little about what the article dealt with and my own thoughts on the article. The case is said to primarily deal with issues of free speech and rights of physical and intellectual property. Does google have the right to generate a profit through advertising? I certainly believe they do. As posted by shell, Google has said to be preparing for a lawsuit of this kind from the very day they purchased YouTube. This could absolutely become a landmark case for the ages. I'm extremely interested to see how the law is interpreted and whether it is going to favor Google or not. One can only pray that Google will somehow prevail, because in my opinion YouTube is one of the greatest things developed since pizza. I'm hoping to uncover information that will provide a lot more detail pertaining to this topic so as always, stay tuned..

Barry

I decided to take a stab at editing Barry Bonds profile on wikipedia and so far was successful. I was reading an article about his high school athletic career and just decided to make an adjustment under his high school career by mentioning that he was drafted after his senior year by the Giants, but instead decided to go to college at Arizona State Univeristy. I'm hoping to hear of more about Bonds and his participation in spring training, so stay alert for an update on that. But if you feel like checking out my edit than here the link is...Barry Bonds.
