Viacoms lawsuit against Google, which has been in and out of the court for seven years now, is finally over. In 2007, Viacom sued YouTubes parent company, Google, for copyright infringement. Viacom was looking for over $1 billion in damages. Three years later, in 2010, a judge ruled in Googles favor, saying that YouTube took copyrighted material down as soon as it was notified of its presence, as required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
