Viacom and Google have been at odd's for a little bit about this, and all it is really is a price settlement that would be a blanket license.
How thats is supposed to work technically I got no idea, however Viacom is notorious for pushing the issue for taking a bigger piece for the blanket license. This has been in the news on and off for about 6 months now.
FOr example. Rick Roll plays an interestng point in this. Rick got royalties for the playback of the video clip on youtube. So how did that happen? This is not a joke its true.
