It was correct what was said in our news here in the UK a couple of days ago. VIACOM has put the pressure on YOUTUBE saying that much of the music videos seen on the site are breaking copyright laws owned by VIACOM, with VIACOM putting pressure on YOUTUBE to have them removed - which YOUTUBE are currently doing.
