you are an idiot
there is no way this "evidence" is going to hurt google
the best this proves is at that time youtube BELIEVED that they were built on unauthorized copyright material
and they believed they should look into doing more to stop it
however all they have to do is argue that belief was a mistake something that is so so easy given the fact that viacomm sent take down notices for over 50 videos that had nothing to do with their content
and the eff found of 1762 additional ones that were in fact fair use uses of content when they put up a video calling to action to identify those wrongfully taken down.
the fact that viacom screwed up and "accidently" took down tons of non infringing content completely blunts this evidence
because all google has to say was is "while back then we BELIEVED that it was based on infringing content, we didn't fully realize how much fair use and completely unrelated content would be taken down by BOGUS take down request
The only way free express of all the fair use authorized use of content would be to keep the current takedown and response notification"
hell they could even be smart and make some kind of offer that say we will implement the keyword type filtering if viacom would agree to pay any person whos video was taken down 1 million dollars.
i would tell you if viacom agreed to such a deal i would make as many videos as i could that would be caught by that filter that absolutely were fair use authorized just to get the money.
