Title: Viacom claims blogger infringed his own copyright?!

Is this copyright madness ever going to end? This is as bad as when Fantasy records sued John Fogerty for plagiarizing  himself.

That is so backward...

It kind of worries me about big companies and governments putting, obviously, a fair bit of resources into this sort of thing.

There was a mini-scandal here not long ago about government agencies editing and deleting articles on wikipedia since it's an election year and they want people to be looking on their candidate positively.

This Viacom stuff just makes me mad, and I can think of much better things they can do with their time than deleting videos like this...
