Hey YouTube -- Viacom's Knockin'

We were certain that the ol' suits at Viacom were just out for cash when they demanded that YouTube take down 100,000 videos last week.

But it seems the Big 'V' has something else up its sleeves. If you've already got a destination site with regular programming, (as Comedy Central does), who really needs the Tube?

And what to do if you don't have TiVo? ShareTV presents torrents of your fave shows, downloadable soon after they air -- any predictions as to how soon this service gets shut down?
