YouTube seeks to depose Stewart, Colbert

YouTube wants to question Comedy Central comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert as part of its defense against claims that the online video-sharing site illegally shows snippets of sports and entertainment videos, reports the Associated Press.

"The request came as part of lawsuits brought against YouTube by Viacom Inc.

The lawsuits claim, in essence, that YouTube profits from massive copyright infringement of television programs and feature films. The documents seeking the depositions of Stewart and Colbert pertained only to the Viacom lawsuit."
