Not good. I understand and respect Viacom's need to protect their copyright, everyone should have the right to be able to profit out of their intellectual property - but this hard hitting approach is over the top. All this action does is promote a virtual 'arms race' when it comes too copyright violation. The media companies shut down Napster early on in the game and in the process, opened a pandoras box. Better technologies have emerged with every subsequent shutdown. At least with Napster they could have contained the problem, but instead are just shooting themselves in the foot. I guess this is the price they pay for their heavy handed approach.
