I'd really like to see an official response from Viacom on the stuff Mike asks in that video. I bet they would give some bull, but still, at least they would see it.
Stupid Viacom. This suit needs to go away ASAP.

...And ofcourse you know they'll never issue a direct response. I like the idea of going to local media about the issue, but Mike needs to cite his information sources, provided they are legit. I can imagine the call to the press would go something like this:
Reporter: "Hello, news centre"
You: "Hi, I want you to do a story on viacom. They're engaging in fraudulent claims against YouTube and it's users."
Reporter: "How do you know this?"
You: "Um...A guy on YouTube told me."
Reporter: *click*

But it might work if you send it in to the local news or national news research/beat team. Because then maybe THEY will do the verification and maybe THEY can still get a story out of it and help spread the word?
But I'm saying this without fully knowing how it all works at various news outlets.

Yeah I'm not sure how it works either...Oh man, it would SUCK if you called up your local newsroom and it turned out they were owned by or affiliated with viacom!
I would be like all "BALLS!"
Then I would lol.
Then I would be like all "BALLS!" again...
