Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled.
The ruling comes as part of Google's legal battle with Viacom over allegations of copyright infringement.
Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called the ruling a "set-back to privacy rights".

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I don't think this is a good thing at all...If I viewed some Family Guy clips on YouTube, can they come after me?

That's not what this case is for; even if you uploaded the clips you'd have more cause to worry, but I think the suit is against Youtube and not the users who uploaded them.

it's still bs, one that is private data that according to the user agreement would nto be used this way.
two it is identify data, which means I should have the right to Challenger its release.
three is a a corporate asset, as identifiable data, it holds great value for advertising
plus there is laws protecting isp and content providers from their users as long as they provide a method for the removal of copywitted material.. aka dmca complaints.. and google is on top of those very quickly.
This is just an example why we need a technology savey court system.. perhaps only let judges oversee technology cases, if they have passed some basic knowledge tests.
and last
geeezus, google is savign all that data, 12 terrabytes of just what videos we watched? damn I'm always cleanign my logs and these guys are just buying huge hd arrays to store larger and larger logs.
