Google and Viacom have reportedly resolved a copyright infringement lawsuit involving the search giant's YouTube video service, according to Reuters.
The terms of the settlement have not been released yet publically.
The cable network owner accused YouTube of broadcasting over 79,000 copyrighted videos on its website from 2005 through 2008 over six years ago.
In April 2013, a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan rejected Viacom's damages claims over Google's alleged unauthorized posting of clips for show like "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," "South Park," "SpongeBob SquarePants" and other programs that viewers had uploaded to YouTube without permission.
This was the second time in three years a judge rejected the damage claims, according to Reuters.
Viacom had been appealing the ruling from last year.
"This settlement reflects the growing collaborative dialogue between our two companies on important opportunities, and we look forward to working more closely together," the companies said in a joint statement, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Viacom had filed a $1 billion lawsuit against YouTube back in 2007.
Stanton wrote in his 30-page decision back in 2010 that "YouTube was given notices, it removed the material, it is thus protected from liability," under a provision in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, according to The Los Angeles Times
