Yes, and lots of the content that disappeared was not infringing on Viacom. There is no way that Viacom had human beings actually look at the content they complained about. They just ran an automated search, gave the list to their lawyers, and threw the shit into the fan. I am kind of surprised there is not a bigger outburst about this by the free culture community--of which I consider myself to be one. Talk about a chilling effect. I figure that a lot of the folks who had their videos taken down are about 13 years old, and are intimidated by the notices. Hell, I was kind of intimidated, and I'm anything but 13. Viacom was completely irresponsible in using the DMCA complaint process to go after a list of videos that they had to know included many many many false accusations.
