michiknows.com — "No matter how you spun it, a lawsuit was waiting to pounce on YouTube. And when the lawsuit came, it would be from multi-billion dollar media conglomerates. Worst of all, people feared it will trigger a landslide of more lawsuits. And even still, Google bought YouTube. Now I wonder, maybe Google actually wanted to be sued."

We would be brainwashed if we thought Google did it for the good of society, but what this article what it's stating is that Google did it to preserve their own business and therefore make more money. It just so happens that Google's freedom to crawl the web and display ads also keeps it free and open for the rest of us, something that Viacom et al do not want.

millions of dollars wasted? So what? That's like me worrying about the 7 pennies I dropped this morning and didn't bother picking up. Not doing GREAT with Google video and losing a few million is nothing to Google.
