TechImpact / it happens there first

Though the courts maintain its right, Viacom has relented on its claim to see all of Google's data. Though this is no historic event for user rights, or security, or any great victory for the legal system, it is a historic event in the copyright wars. It smells of an air of civility from one of the titanic competitors, but really it's a hard fought victory for the public. The outcry from so many, finally came together loud enough to be heard. This should be nothing less than a proud moment for consumers.
