The result still does not mean that Google will win out in this $1 billion copyright suit, which has been filed against Viacom, the parent company of MTV and Paramount Pictures.

According to Mark Litvack, a well-known copyright attorney, there are many differences between Veoh and YouTube. The case centers around 10 videos were posted on Veoh between June 1, 2006, and June 22, 2006, these videos did not have authorization to appear on the website.
