YouTube, Google Hit With $779M Lawsuit

YouTube and Google have been sued again, this time it is an Italian media company that is upset that over 4600+ of their movies are on YouTube. You know, you have to wonder what it must be like to work in the legal department at Google. Those guys must be busy as hell all year long.

Mediaset alleges it found at least 4,643 of its movies on YouTube's Web site on June 10, when it conducted a sample survey. The movies represent approximately 325 hours of material, Mediaset claims. The media company, as a result, alleges its three Italian television networks have lost nearly 315,700 viewer days, which in turn represents lost advertising opportunities for its television programs, Mediaset alleges.
