It's a little different with Google, the deal they were working on with Viacom fell through. In short, Viacom isn't making money every time a clip goes up, however Google is selling ads directly next to the video. They had 15,000 clips online, one clip would go down and turn around and go back up. Viacom would have to hire full time employees just to monitor YouTube, when YouTube states they have filtering, and hand filtering, to help stop this stuff.

It's a bit different fight over very different reasons.

What Titan did was just stupid, it had nothing to do fighting piracy, but rather trying to fight technology - which you will lose against every time.
