From Piracy to Profit
7 11 2008While Viacom pushes forward with their billion lawsuit against YouTube, Viacom subsidiary MTV Networks (which includes MTV as well as Comedy Central, BET, Spike and Nickelodeon) has reached a deal with MySpace to allow users of the social networking site to post videos of copyrighted content that was originally broadcast over the cable channels.
