This week, documents from Viacom's billion dollar lawsuit against YouTube for copyright
infringement were published, and the three-year-long-and-counting lawsuit has again been brought
to the public's attention. In case you haven't been following the case, here's a quick timeline
of the major events that led up to the lawsuit, and those that occurred since the original
complaint was filed:
May 24, 2005- Viacom subpoenas YouTube for information about a user who uploaded
clips from Paramount Pictures' "Twin Towers."
June 2005- Viacom's board of directors approves a plan to spin off assets, which
become known as the new Viacom, Inc. That new company is given control of Paramount, while the
core company reforms as CBS Corp.
January 2006- 20th Century Fox sues YouTube to have content from Fox TV shows
such as The Simpsons and 24 removed from YouTube.
June 2006- YouTube and NBC partner to create NBC channel on
YouTube for Internet exclusives, clips, and trailers.
July 2006- Viacom and NBC Universal back journalist Robert Tur in his suit
against YouTube for illegally posting his videos of the 1992 L.A. riots. The legal brief said,
"YouTube incorrectly contends that the DMCA permits it to avoid any responsibility for the
content on its commercial website and completely shift the burden to content owners to discover
and notify it of infringements."
March 2007- Viacom General Counsel Michael Fricklas in a Washington Post op-ed says that YouTube was not just a passive content
host, and that it is fully aware of what it does. "If the public knows what's there, then
YouTube's management surely does. YouTube's own terms of use give it clear rights, notably the
right to take anything down."
May 2007- British Premier League files class action suit against YouTube for
copyright infringement, says Google "knowingly misappropriated and exploited this valuable
property," when it allowed users to post footage from its football games.
June 2007- YouTube introduces Content ID to help content owners identify if
their content is being used, gives them the option to remove unauthorized content, or monetize
it.
August 2007- Google asks Comedy Central personalities Jon Stewart and Stephen
Colbert to testify against Viacom in copyright hearings.
Comedy Central is a Viacom property.
March 2008- Viacom President and CEO Phillippe Dauman says "We've already
achieved a number of things with this lawsuit. It took a long time, but because of our actions,
YouTube has moved in the right direction. They're where they should have been all along."
June 2008- New York District Court rules that Google has to turn over user IDs
and IP addresses to Viacom. Angry users upload nearly 5,000 "Viacom Sucks" videos to
YouTube. Google is later allowed to make this data anonymous.
July 2008- Movie studio Lionsgate partners with YouTube for a branded channel
with ad-supported official content from the studio.
April 2009- Content owners discus "TV Anywhere" plan to tie Web-based video
content into cable subscription fees. Viacom CEO Dauman says, "People are used to paying for
video subscriptions," sees it as a good idea.
June 2009- "TV Everywhere" network scheme launches.
July 2009- Some claims from the Premier League's 2007 suit against YouTube are
dismissed, but claims for "statutory damages for works not registered in the US" are allowed.
September 2009- Google gives individual copyright holders access to the Insight
metrics of YouTube videos that contain their intellectual property according to Content ID.
October 2009- Viacom presents "smoking gun" evidence for its case: internal
e-mails from YouTube staff that show "actual knowledge" that copyright infringement was taking
place on the video sharing site.
November 2009- Google announces YouTube Direct, a
system where media outlets can directly communicate with users and arrange rebroadcasting rights
on a one-to-one basis.
March 2010- Some of Viacom's "smoking gun" documents go public, company claims
"YouTube was intentionally built on infringement."

From Knorr stock cubes to Turkey Twizzlers, the once legendary chef stoops ever lower. Should we
simply indulge an old chef cashing in on lucrative liaisons?
In 1983, I attended an AFC Bournemouth football match where an ageing player, obviously well past
his sell-by date, wheezed his way around the pitch to no great effect.
It was the once majestic George Best and his presence not only attracted twice the normal turnout
for the third division team, but also prompted tears from some of the older fans standing around
me as they recalled the glories of his pomp and lamented a career cut short by personal problems.
News that chef Marco Pierre White has agreed to become a brand ambassador for turkey producer, Bernard
Matthews seems to have prompted a similar response in the food world. Although, MPW being who
he is, the reaction appears to be more one of outrage than any sad reflection on his fallen
status as Britain's leading chef. The Twitterverse is ablaze with
indignation. "Odious shill" and "you call yourself a proper chef?!" being some of the
more sympathetic responses to the
news.
The problem is not that he has chosen to take money for the use of his name. We are now all too
used to the notion that leading chefs are brands and their restaurants merely one part of a
portfolio of products which include everything from cookware to books. Lending his name to
unlikely products is hardly a new pastime of Marco Pierre White. This is, after all a man who,
through his endorsement of Knorr stock cubes, "the best f***ing ingredient in the world" made
popular the use of the word "jellified".
Endorsing Bernard Matthews hardly fits the image of a man who as recently as December 2009 still
have claimed to be
"an ambassador for my trade". This is, we should remember, one of the people who lit the fuse
for Britain's current love of food, first, at the late 80s hotbed that was Harvey's and then as
he became the youngest chef to gain three Michelin stars during his tenure at his eponymous
restaurant at the former Hyde Park Hotel. His book White Heat remains an essential for any
serious food fan and, without his tutelage of young chefs, the current UK's dining scene would be
a lot less interesting.
However we should also recognise that this Marco Pierre White, the Marco of White Heat has not
really existed since he retired from the kitchen at the turn of the Millennium. His personal and
business problems have been well recorded. His US television series Chopping Block was pulled
after a handful of episodes (although the series was completed at a later date) and in 2007, his
marriage to wife, Mati unravelled in a costly divorce. Few would now be able to defend him from
the accusation that he is now simply following the money wherever it will lead him.
But I, for one, don't really blame him. His is a star very much on the wane and, while we may
remember what he once was, we should be more sympathetic to who he now is, a man who is
leveraging his fading brand to produce what income he can before people forget about him
altogether. He at least, compared to many other chefs, does it with admirable chutzpah.
I recall again the sad sight of George Best dredging the last remnants of his lost talent out on
a cold football field far, far from his glories days at Old Trafford. When some in the crowd
shouted out abuse as Best gave up on a chase for the ball with a dismissive wave of his hand, my
elder companion whispered to me "They should leave him alone. He's given us years of pleasure.
Now, let him make some money."
That's very much how I feel about Marco Pierre White.
