Viacom wants the viewing data in part to help it determine the extent to which YouTube’s success was built on the popularity of copyrighted clips that were illegally posted to the site. Outside experts say that without the data it would be virtually impossible to pin that down.

Its too bad the judge was swayed by the above arguement. If I had been the judge, I would have told Viacom that if they wanted to pin down who posted copyrighted material (and how much), that they could just go look thru all of the videos posted on YouTube, and get that info themselves.
If anyone thinks they have ANY privacy rights on the INTERNET, they are fools. Its too bad, but that's the way it is today. If you don't like something, sue the bastards!
