Google responds to Viacom’s suit

A $1 billion US copy­right infringement law­suit challenging You­Tube’s ability to keep copyrighted material off its video-sharing site threatens how people exchange all kinds of information on the Internet, YouTube owner Google said.

Google’s lawyers made the claim in court papers in response to Viacom’s latest lawsuit alleging that the Internet has led to “an explosion of copyright infringement” by YouTube and others.
