A deadline for Google to turn over documents in Viacom's $1 billion copyright lawsuit against the Web search leader has been extended by two months by a federal judge. Google's attorneys had asked that a March 7 deadline for both sides to turn over documents be postponed by three months because it was wading through 4.5 million documents.

"It's a daunting task," Andrew Schapiro, an attorney for law firm Mayer Brown which represents Google, told the New York Southern District Court. Judge Louis Stanton agreed Friday to a new deadline of May 9. Last March, Viacom sued Google for copyright infringement on its popular YouTube online video sharing service, demanding over $1 billion in damages.
