The scandalous rascals that are 20th Century Fox’s lawyers slapped Youtube with a subpoena today. A user by the account name of ECOtotal posted episodes of The Simpsons and 24 before they were released in the states.

The current owners of Youtube, Google, will have to either give up the goods or make a stand. Giving in to Fox could possibly lead to a backlash from the online community but not doing so means facing a major studio in the courts. What’s an internet giant to do?
