Judge Rules for Google to Hand Over User Data

I can’t believe this even happened. What is Viacom going to do with our IPs and user names?  Are they going to charge me for viewing their copyrighted content? Or are they going to charge Google for every time you or me viewed a video with their content in it? What ever happened to the free and open internet? It is the one thing we the people have and it seems as if the suits are trying to take away from us. Of course I have always felt that the government would love to get their grubby hands on the internet and regulate the heck out of it. Rulings like this really threaten the freedom of the internet. Welcome to the United States of the Corporation. (Excuse my rantings) Check out the Fox News report below.
