There is no reason for Viacom to request the source code. That is an unbelievable request. Good thing the judge turned them down.

I've read that the Judge says that Viacom can only use this information for this case, so this means that if Viacom Files some lawsuits based on this information there will be invalid? I don't know much about legal terms, but that is what i understand. Still i think its not respecting my privacy and that Google should appeal or move their offices to Switzerland.

Google will appeal the hell out of it, but to protect themselves rather than the information. There's a lot more (like a billion bucks) riding on this case then a list of ip addresses that watched a clip.
