BACKGROUND: We all know that Viacom, the mass media company behind MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount, has been pushing hard for new online video and audio communications regulations enforced in the United States.

EXHIBIT A: Paramount Pictures' relationship with National Amusements
In late 1993, Paramount Pictures was purchased by American media company Viacom, a unit of National Amusements, incorporated in New York.

EXHIBIT B: The CBS-UPN Connection
In 2004, the old Paramount Television merged with CBS Corporation to form the CBS-Paramount Television Entertainment Group. In 2006, CBS Corporation agreed to a merger with TimeWarner's The WB Television Network to form The CW. Also, in 2006, the old Viacom became the new Viacom. Later on, ViacomCBS would be the product of a merger between both Viacom and CBS Corporation.
