Victory over Viacom

Viacom's suit against You Tube over copyright infringement has failed.
The judge said that the safe harbor provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act allows You Tube to wait until notified of a violation before removing material from its site.

I think You Tube has behaved in a capricious and unfair manner when it comes to removing and retaining content based on purely political grounds, but the idea of making them do all the work because Viacom and others are lazy bugs me for some reason.
