Viacom vs you. Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled.
The ruling comes as part of Google's legal battle with Viacom over allegations of copyright infringement.
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called the ruling a "set-back to privacy rights".
The viewing log, which will be handed to Viacom, contains the log-in ID of users, the computer IP address (online identifier) and video clip details.
While the legal battle between the two firms is being contested in the US, it is thought the ruling will apply to YouTube users and their viewing habits everywhere.
Viacom, which owns MTV and Paramount Pictures, has alleged that YouTube is guilty of massive copyright infringement.
The UK's Premier League association is also seeking class action status with Viacom on the issue, alleging YouTube, which was bought by Google in 2006, has been used to watch football highlights.
Legal action
When it initiated legal action in March 2007 Viacom said it had identified about 160,000 unauthorised clips of its programmes on the website, which had been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.
Following the launch of its billion-dollar lawsuit, YouTube introduced filtering tools in an effort to prevent copyright materials from appearing on the site.
The US court declined Viacom's request that Google be forced to hand over the source code of YouTube, saying it was a "trade secret" that should not be disclosed.
But it said privacy concerns expressed by Google about handing over the log were "speculative".
Google's senior litigation counsel Catherine Lacavera said in a statement: "We are disappointed the court granted Viacom's over-reaching demand for viewing history.
"We will ask Viacom to respect users' privacy and allow us to anonymise the logs before producing them under the court's order."
The ruling will see the viewing habits of millions of YouTube users given to Viacom, totalling more than 12 terabytes of data.
Viacom said it wanted the data to "compare the attractiveness of allegedly infringing video with that of non-infringing videos."
YouTube and Google had "compelled" it to go to court, Viacom said, "by continuing to defend their illegal and irresponsible conduct and profiting from copyright infringement, when they could be implementing the safe and legal user generated content experience they promise".
It said it would not be asking for any "personally identifiable information" of any user.
"Any information that we or our outside advisors obtain will be used exclusively for the purpose of proving our case against You Tube and Google (and) will be handled subject to a court protective order and in a highly confidential manner."
'Erroneous ruling'
Leading privacy expert Simon Davies told BBC News that the privacy of millions of YouTube users was threatened.
He said: "The chickens have come home to roost for Google.
"Their arrogance and refusal to listen to friendly advice has resulted in the privacy of tens of millions being placed under threat."
Mr Davies said privacy campaigners had warned Google for years that IP addresses were personally identifiable information.
Google pledged last year to anonymise IP addresses for search information but it has said nothing about YouTube data.
Mr Davies said: "Governments and organisations are realising that companies like Google have a warehouse full of data. And while that data is stored it is under threat of being used and putting privacy in danger."
The EFF said: "The Court's erroneous ruling is a set-back to privacy rights, and will allow Viacom to see what you are watching on YouTube.
"We urge Viacom to back off this overbroad request and Google to take all steps necessary to challenge this order and protect the rights of its users."
The body said the ruling was also potentially unlawful because the log data did contain personally identifiable data.
The court also ruled that Google disclose to Viacom the details of all videos that have been removed from the site for any reason.

This is the trailer for the new film HUNGER WITH Michael Fassbender and directed by Steve McQueen.
Is trailer é don scannan HUNGER le Michael Fassbender.
It is about Bobby Sands (who was a fluent irish language / gaeilge speaker) and the hunger strikes of the early 1980's. This will be a must see film for anybody interested in the political situation in Ireland.
Tá sé faoi Roibeard Gearóid Ó Seachnasaigh agus an stailc ocras sa 1980's. Tá gaeilge aige agus go raibh sé an bhróduil aistí.
This is what the Times said of the film
This is a stunning debut feature, and one of the very few British films represented at this year's Cannes festival. Steve McQueen is a former Turner Prize-winner and at the last official hearing precisely ninety eight miles off-message. His immaculately old school thriller about the IRA, and trying to survive the brutality of Her Majesty's Prison Service in Long Kesh, is just wonderful. There are few words. No music. And less spelling.
Bobby Sands, played by Michael Fassbender, is the star. In a prison cell decorated by his own faeces he foments one of the most potent challenges to Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister. He decides to starve himself to death. I can't describe what this actor goes through. The 24 minute single shot debate in a prison visiting room with a parish priest about the reasons why is pure Oscar. The starvation is an unspeakable horror. The formality of the film is totally unsettling. In fact it's poetry.

An Príosúnach ina Fheisire
Nuair a bhí an stailc ocrais tosaithe, fuair an Feisire Poblachtánach Neamhspleách do dháilcheantar Fhear Manach agus Thír Eoghain Theas bás go tobann. Mar sin, b'éigean fothoghchán a chóiriú le Feisire nua a vótáil isteach. Chonaic lucht leanúna an tSeachnasaigh áiméar anseo le tacaíocht an phobail Náisiúnaígh ar fad a thiomsú d'fheachtas na stailceoirí ocrais. Tharraing na páirtithe náisiúnaíocha eile - an SDLP ach go háirithe - siar ón toghchánaíocht, agus hainmníodh an Seachnasach mar phríosúnach polaitiúil in Ard Mhacha ag cur in aghaidh na H-Bhlocanna.
I ndiaidh feachtas toghchánaíochta nach raibh aon duine in ann dearcadh neodrach a bheith aige air, bhain an Seachnasach amach an suíochán le 30,492 vóta in aghaidh 29,046 cheann a caitheadh ar son a chéile iomaíochta, Harry West, a bhí ag seasamh do Pháirtí Aontachtach Uladh (UUP). Go gairid ina dhiaidh sin, d'athraigh Rialtas na Breataine an reachtaíocht toghchánaíochta le feachtais den chineál seo a chosc roimh ré.
[athraigh] A Bhás
Trí seachtaine i ndiaidh an toghcháin, stiúg an Seachnasach in otharlann an phríosúin i ndiaidh sé lá agus trí scór a chaitheamh ar céalacan. Nuair a chuala na Náisiúnaígh go raibh sé básaithe, thosaigh scliúchais a mhair ar feadh roinnt laethanta. Tháinig breis agus céad míle duine á chomóradh chun na huaighe. Bhí an Seachnasach ina Fheisire ar feadh cúig lá is fiche, - ceann de na téarmaí is gairide ó tháinig an Phairlimint ar an bhfód an chéad uair. Bhí sé á chaí ag teaghlach mór: idir thuismitheoirí, deirféaracha, deartháracha agus mac óg a rugadh don chailín a raibh cumann aige léi sular cimíodh é.
Fuair naonúr fear eile bás le linn na stailce ocrais seo, i ndiaidh an tSeachnasaigh: Proinsias Ó hAodha, Peatsaí Ó hEadhra, Réamann Mac Raois, Seosamh Mac Dónaill, Máirtín Ó hUrsain, Caoimhín Ó Loingsigh, Ciarán Ó Dochartaigh, Tomás Mac Giolla Bhuí agus Mícheál Ó Duibhinn. An chuid is mó de lucht leanúna an IRA, is follasach go raibh meas an mhairtírigh acu ar gach aon fhear de na stailceoirí ocrais seo. Thairis sin, bhí cuid mhór de na Caitlicigh eile - an chuid acu a bhí in aghaidh an IRA agus na gleice armtha, fiú - bhí siad thar a bheith míshásta leis an stiúir a bhí faoi Rialtas na Breataine.

REMEMBER: To watch in High Quality!
This all began with my very first sighting of a Luna Moth in MA USA, a rare and unusual moth 'common' (that's what Google said!) to the Eastern States of America, with a wing span of up to 4.5-5 inches.
In the end I spent little under an hour outside in awe of the variety of insects that gathered around the simple garage light and I would like to share my wonder with you with this video entitled Night light.
