Don't be evil

Yes, seriously.

So says Da Judge in ViaCom's one billion dollar lawsuit against googlag, owner of youtube.

Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom.

Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.

The order also requires Google to turn over copies of all videos that it has taken down for any reason.

Good news for law abiding, liberty-loving people all over this rock who are sick of having their "let freedom ring, pro-coalition, anti-terrorist vids" removed for "violation of TOS", while tera-bytes worth of worthless "Jew hating, U.S. soldier murdering, pro-islamists, terror vids" remain for all to watch & download.

But the Court better move quick before googlag does what it does best: scrub information it finds disagreeable.

Don't be evil. Right, googlag?

Oh. And fight the smears, baby.
