Simply creepy. I'm probably not alone in mistrusting our large telecom corporations - especially since this wonderful business of unwarranted wiretapping - but for Viacom to demand users' IP addresses (and read toward the article's end for their really unreasonable demands) is a legal overreaction at best. At worst, this could be something a little darker than a copyright dispute.
