iFilm busted

Valleywag makes a really good point today: how can viacom be upset about YouTube when they own iFilm–a site which has hosted pirated clips since for a really looooooong time. In fact, one high level executive at Viacom used to complain to me all the time about how hard it was to compete with iFilm because they constantly posted clips they didn’t own and only took them down when folks would bust them–by which time they already had the traffic boost.
