Last night the federal court for the Southern District of New York ordered Google to hand over (.PDF) user data for all videos watched on YouTube to Viacom, stating:

Plaintiffs seek all data from the Logging database concerning each time a YouTube video has been viewed on the YouTube website or through embedding on a third-party website.

Why the F is google and youtube keeping records of this anyways. Maybe we are all doomed by this. Oh well just shut you tube down, I guess. Magibon and where the hell is Matt are all user created videos and they are some of the most watched stuff out there. Man copy right videos are only 7 min max so you cant really see much anyways.
