YouTube says Viacom posted their own copyrighted videos, then demanded take down

As you can see, Super Bowl was a boon to me and plenty of other online writers, no doubt. Though I've pulled back from writing like a madwoman this year, Super Bowl Sunday did find me putting up a lot of articles and taking advantage of the
