The Wall Street Journal writes:
<<Google Inc. and Viacom Inc. have agreed to allow Google to anonymize YouTube visitor data before complying with a judge's order to deliver the data to Viacom as part of a broader copyright lawsuit.
Google-owned YouTube announced late Monday night that the parties had agreed to allow it to substitute actual user and visitor IDs and internet protocol addresses with other unique values to help protect user privacy.>>
A simple substitution of unique IDs apparently provides no guarantee of privacy, but that's what industry do in practice.
