My Way News - YouTube, Viacom agree to mask viewer data
AP reports: "Viacom and other copyright holders have agreed to let YouTube mask user IDs and Internet addresses when Google Inc.'s online video site hands over viewership records in a $1 billion lawsuit accusing YouTube of enabling copyright infringement. A federal judge ordered the database produced in a July 1 ruling widely criticized by privacy activists."
Comment: So they won't be handing over records of what individual users watched, but they could...if they wanted to.
