In order to bring back “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report” to the content platform, Hulu has just entered into a content partnership with Viacom. But the financial terms included in the new agreement are not revealed.

A judge has ruled out the possibility of YouTube violating the content norms against Viacom. YouTube is owned by Google Inc.

The case against the site was that it violated copyrights against Viacom in terms of clips from its TV channels, MTV and Comedy Central. The videos made of content coming on these channels were posted on YouTube.

There is a fresh wave of tribulations in the already muddy battle between Viacom and Google. The bone of contention is the issue of copyright relating to You Tube which is Viacom’s subsidiary.

Viacom claims that fresh documents will aid its case against Google.

The three-year-long Viacom lawsuit against YouTube and Google, has reached a vital verdict moment, as the case has burst into public sight, with the public release of the briefs of each side filed previously this month.

The $1 billion copyright battle between Viacom and Google is still on.

The court documents, filed in federal court in New York, revealed that Viacom had also considered buying You Tube before it went to Google for $1.7 billion.

Viacom has planned to remove "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report" and other comedy central programs from the online Hulu, next week. Due to the present incapacity of the service of protecting the rights, the hit political satires are being taken from its essential shelves.

For quite some time now, we all have been reading a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against Google's YouTube filed by Viacom, and it seems that the latter might have found evidence that YouTube employees themselves uploaded Viacom content to the site. 

A hefty $454 million restructuring charge to account for severance, and write-downs of its film inventory, along with some other charges, sharply lowered the fourth-quarter earnings of the New York-based media corporation Viacom Inc.

Viacom and Time Warner, facing a backlash from TV viewers furious at losing out on some of their favourite programmes like 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and 'Dora the Explorer', after Viacom threatened to pull 19 of its cable channels, including Nickelodeon, MTV, VH-1 and Comedy Central, have reached a new programming agreement, thus settling their contract dispute that expired at midnight on New Yea
