well i would hope not that would destroy the 2.3 trillion dollar fair use economy

We have gotten together as well, and just like the mpaa we evangalize our position.
The reality is the VIACOM is a distributor not a content producer, they buy their content from smaller distributors and resell it down the chain.
they are trying to extend the monopoly they have in tv broadcasting (CBS) into the internet.
they want to prevent a competitive distribution methodology for the content that they are actually just liciencing.
