Invasion of Privacy?

Looks like Big Brother has gone another step further.

yep, they are going to find you out.

I read that yesterday, you are right, it is a major invasion of our privacy especially since it sounds like a fishing expedition. They suspect theres piracy but they do not have proof so they are hoping to find some.

Aside from the issue of the Court requesting all this info to hand over to Viacom, another issue should be why Google needs to keep all this information. They are a greater threat to privacy than the judge in this case and in Viacom who merely wants the data to get Google to fork over money for hosting their movies, TV Shows, etc. Google makes a lot of money off of copyright infringement. Viacom wants Google to hand over some of those profits. And this is a way of determining how many people are watching their content and not paying for it.
