Great Candidates for Depositions
I'm surprised there's the comment that these guys wouldn't have anything relevant to say.
It seems quite plausible that they themselves could have engaged in the sharing of Viacom's copyrighted material.
Personally, I can't see how anything that people are allowed to record for their own review can't be shared in small clips in order to promote discussion about the ideas raised. Viacom (and every other big IP holder) can't tolerate that conception of "fair use."
If that's the dominant human/social view, though, Viacom (and every other big IP holder) can't actually "win" anything. No matter what happens in court.
