How in the world could anybody prove these allegations? The YouTube statement claims

It deliberately "roughed up" the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. ... It even sent employees to Kinko’s to upload clips from computers that couldn’t be traced to Viacom.

It seems they've got their bases covered, that any upload vector might plausibly be from Viacom themselves. But how could they conclusively prove that this is what happened?




Maybe the employees that did the uploading have come forward.


And will be deposed, under oath.


And maybe have relevant emails disclosed during discovery.
