Colbert meant business about getting litigious:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzsBv2HDaRo> (first result on Google
for "lessig colbert youtube").

Viacom has issued a DMCA takedown notice, hence "This video is no
longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International
Inc.."

And the Google cache evidence (for as long as it lasts):
<http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DEzsBv2HDaRo>

This is extremely ironic, I really had a great laugh out of it. If the
Viacom employee issuing the takedown notice had watched the video, I
wonder what he/she would have thought.

Let's see what Professor Lessig says.
