Shades of Big Brother
I find it hard to believe that Viacom is going broke because of clips posted on YouTube. Rather, this seems like really good advertising, and Viacom should be paying YouTube rather than the other way around.But corporate greed always trumps common sense.

And authoritarian control of customers is highly desired. If the corporations could simply enslave every person in the country, they would.
