The four Internet companies filed friend-of-the-court legal briefs on behalf of YouTube yesterday in Manhattan federal court, where a judge is weighing YouTube’s and Viacom’s legal motions in the 2007 lawsuit.

W.T.F.

What roles do EBay, Facebook, and Yahoo have in this case again? How about Viacom go get the RIAA to file a brief? They probably don't want to see Viacom win because this case could be used against companies for how they use content they don't have the rights to (I'm looking at YOU, Facebook).
