Both Viacom and Google have asked that the judge issue a summary ruling (I hope that's the right term) in this case about whether or not Google knowingly and willingly violated Viacom's copyrights.
After reading this article, I tend to side with Google, but I'll need to find a better reading of the motions before really deciding.

But, based on this article, I think that Google can claim that Viacom cannot have it both ways. I don't think that YouTube is much more than a common carrier, because they don't post the content, and they do take things down when the copyright owner asks them to do so.
