DISQUS

Any lawyer with half a brain would have advised Google to pull those accounts. With a pending lawsuit with Viacom over copyright infringement, the last thing Google needs is a bunch of videos with Viacom content where rights are unverified. I would have expected Google to pull them.

In a case like that, it really does make sense for Perez Hilton to assume the liability on his own, particularly with the amount of traffic driven to that site. Let him assume the liability.

You're probably right, Karoli.

I believe the most shocking thing about that TV week piece is that he's pushing 25 million views of his videos and he's only earned $5k? Wow.

FIRST!!!!!!! xoxoxo

But seriously, since many people find Lavandeira objectionable as a person (much less his site) I think that the corporate underpinnings of the "affair" might have been overlooked had you not brought them up.
