Mark Cuban actually just wrote about this on his blog. Basically he says what Viacom is looking for is proof that Youtube controls the content of their site on their end. they may use porn as this proof. Right now Youtube claims the site is policed by its users. If they find out through these records that Youtube has controlled content by killing porn videos before they even hit then this could cause Youtube to lose its DMCA and they would be fucked.
Also they want this info to prove that copyrighted material is more popular than user created material.
