NEW YORK After Viacom sent YouTube a letter last week asking the video-sharing site to remove some of its copyrighted content, the two companies appear to have reached an understanding.

The letter requested that YouTube remove some Viacom proprietary content that had been posted by users, including episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

That letter led YouTube to scramble to remove several videos over the weekend, according to officials.

Now, according to a Viacom representative, the two companies are exploring ways to ensure such problems will not be repeated.
