Google, you see, claims that they shouldn't have to turn over 12TB of data
about who watched YouTube videos because user data, including IPs, is
private user data.
<snip>
Google can't play it both ways. Either our IP addresses and user data ARE
private (in which case we should have a LOT more protection from our
Moutain-View-based Big Brother) or they aren't. You can't say that they
aren't protected when it comes to selling targeted advertising, and then
claim it's private information when getting sued for copyright
infringement on YouTube. Google needs to have a consistent policy when it
comes to privacy and simply adding a link to a policy on their entry page
doesn't cut it.
