you're missing a point, and so is he. His idea of boycotting Viacom is retarded. especially when the answer is so clearly obvious, when Viacom threatens you with legal action over Copyright Claims(especially when Viacom is in the wrong) you just smile say sure, when do you want to go to court and have them thrown out for Copyright infringment(Claiming to own Copyrights that you don't own). either one of two things happens.
1: they prove you're an asshat cuz they really do own it
2: you prove they are asshats cuz they don't own it, then you email youtube, citing the case a ample reason as to why they should start asking for proof for Copyright Claims in the future.
