Comedy Central/Viacom plan massive privacy violation

It really is amazing the degree to which the Comedy Central lawyers don't get how the Internet put their network on the map, especially Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Honestly, I stopped mentioning and posting Stewart's skits, even the ones on Comedy Central's own site, after their wonderful lawyers got my YouTube account deleted. And now their lawyers want all of your IP addresses, and apparently the court is giving it to them. I get that Viacom has an interest in its video. But putting aside the fact that they have no clue the degree to which the Internet made them, Viacom has no right to invade my privacy just because it has a gripe with YouTube.
