  • Wrapping Up the YouTube-Viacom Court Documents Coverage

    Wow, based on the extensive coverage of the newly disclosed court documents in the Viacom-YouTube copyright lawsuit, you'd almost think the business press hit the pause button on everything else going on yesterday to spend time reading the details. The combination of 2 heavyweight companies slugging it out, billions of dollars at stake and juicy, behind-the-scenes details finally revealed (like how the $1.6 YouTube acquisition largesse was shared) makes this an irresistible story with lots of legs.

    I've only spent a little time reviewing the documents, but for those interested in the 360 degree immersion, following is some of the best coverage I've been reading, in no particular order. No doubt there's plenty more to come. And if you're a real glutton for punishment, just google "Viacom YouTube court documents" and you can spend your entire weekend reading everything!
