Entertainment giant Viacom Media says it will sue web search engine Google and its video-sharing website YouTube for $1bn (£517m). Viacom, which owns MTV and Nickelodeon, says YouTube uses its shows illegally.

I cannot imagine what in the world possessed Google to buy Youtube.

Even if Google acquiesces, stays legal, and pulls all copyrighted content owned by Viacom. Who wants to use a YouTube without MTV, VH1, or Spongebob?? I mean, what's the point of YouTube, if I can't pull up my favorite Starship video?

My thoughts exactly. It's the only place that I know of that I can see those great 80s videos.
