After YouTube spurned Viacom's offers and hooked up with Google, Redstone decided that YouTube is just a copyright slattern, a Website of easy virtue -- thus, Viacom's $1 billion suit against Google. Per yesterday:

YouTube was intentionally built on infringement and there are countless internal YouTube communications demonstrating that YouTube's founders and its employees intended to profit from that infringement. By their own admission, the site contained "truckloads" of infringing content and founder Steve Chen explained that YouTube needed to "steal" videos because those videos make "our traffic soar."

Google bought YouTube because it was a haven of infringement. Google knew that YouTube's popularity depended on infringing materials with several senior Google executives warning that YouTube was a "rogue enabler of content theft." Instead of complying with the law, Google willfully and knowingly chose to continue YouTube's illegal practices.

In other words, Viacom is glad it didn't get too intimate with the site, because YouTube would infringe with anybody. (Hey, there's a reason they call it viral video.)

Not so fast, cried Google. It was actually Viacom and its proxies who uploaded those unauthorized videos to YouTube, as well as many authorized ones, says the G-force. According to :
