I mentioned last week that Viacom had sued Google/YouTube for $1B for claimed copyright infringement.

Today, an activists group sued Viacom back for having asked Google to remove an episode of the show “The Colbert Report”, claiming that having that show on YouTube was protected under the “fair use” clause of copyright agreements.
