Yeah. Viacom is a bunch of whiny assholes who are supremely concerned that people are watching more Daily Show clips than clips of cats and are looking to sue google for copyright losses.
So the court has ordered Google to turn over to Viacom a list of all screenames, everything they've watched, when they've watched it, and the IP addresses.
As much as I hate Viacom for being a bunch of greedy bastards, I'm angry at Google too for actually retaining all this private data.
Anyway, I don't think there's anything to worry about on our part.
