The news is just in, They revamped the ruling. Your voice was heard.
Tuesday, US District Court Judge Louis Stanton signed off on an agreement by all parties in the lawsuit to allow Google to remove the names and identifying computer numbers of YouTube users from information it will provide Viacom, according to court documents.
According to the agreement filed in New York federal court, the "defendants shall substitute values while preserving uniqueness for entries in the following fields: User ID, IP (Internet protocol) address and visitor ID."
YouTube is to assign each user a unique number so that individual viewing patterns can be determined without necessarily being able to figure out who viewers are.
As they say, we have won the battle, but not the war. Keep up the support for our privacy.

Take Knives, Not Lives: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/takeknivesnotlives/
Knife crime is perhaps not as out of control as the media would have us believe, but it's still unacceptable. Too many people's lives are ruined at the hands of an idiot yob who thinks stabbing someone is a way of gaining "respect". I am one person of many who is sick of it.

I will need all the help I can get with this next video to show the average youtuber what this all means. I wanted to keep people posted on the situation and believe it is a lot worse then people think. I have had some help go over all that is going on with this and have been evaluating what this really means and how it can effect you.
We need to keep this momentum going, because they are hoping people will just lose interest and move on, but this is not the time to stop. We need to keep contacting the judges office even more and we also need to have google / youtube appeal this horrible decision. Here is the Judges info:

Here is more information you may want to read:
As an interesting aside, CBS announced that YouTube has not harmed them at all and has actually increased their viewership making this lawsuit even more outrageous.
"Analysts have long been saying that YouTube is a gift for the TV networks: now we have the stats to prove it. CBS announced today that viewers are flocking to their TV shows after seeing the clips on YouTube. "Letterman" has gained 5 percent (or 200,000 new viewers), while "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" is up 7 percent (or 100,000 viewers) since the CBS YouTube channel debuted a month ago. They've uploaded 300 clips so far, which have averaged 857,000 views per day in total - that's 29.2 million views on YouTube this month. It's also worth noting that YouTube takes that content to millions of viewers outside of the US who can't access CBS normally - if we could measure the channel's global influence and recognition, I'm sure that will have increased dramatically. CBS has three of the top 25 Most Viewed videos this month, and they have 9 of the Most Viewed videos today (let's hope they're not gaming YouTube!). What's more, they've got nearly 22,000 subscribers."
In an Adage article, CBS CEO David Poltrack state: "When you have something the public really wants, the economic value in that is to come up with a way to satisfy the rights holders and serve the consumers." That's a lesson that some media companies have been slow to learn."
He also said " YouTube has yet to do anything to adversely affect his network's programming."
Almost everyone knows the story of David VS Goliath, yes in the original story David Beats Goliath. I am at least glad people know the story. As I have posted a couple of times in the comments section, "even though in the original story, David Does beat goliath, I would rather be Goliath in the courtroom any day of the week." In the courtroom Goliath almost always wins.
