(from https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/technology/24google.html https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/technology/24google.html): > Viacom said it was not seeking damages for any actions since Google put in its filtering system, known as content ID, in early 2008. It's not DMCA, but Viacom basically said "we won't sue you for damages since you've start scanning all videos and taking down our copyrighted content". Obviously other media giants weren't going to let Viacom be the only one with access to this profit machine, so now pretty much all global media giants have access to Content ID.
