BREAKING: Viacom has lost its case against Google/YouTube, after charging that YouTube was not protected by safe harbor provisions claiming it was “fully aware” of illegally uploaded content. Google has made available a PDF summarizing the judgement. Viacom, of course, will be appealing the decision, saying in a statement:

We believe that this ruling by the lower court is fundamentally flawed […] We intend to seek to have these issues before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit as soon as possible. [via NewTeeVee]
