I Couldn't Resist...Youtube vs Broadcast.com 10 years ago

• redorb 19y ago
  Any ideas why Yahoo, didn't relaunch broadcast.com - as soon as youtube was known to be getting popular - they could have squashed them. (relaunch in the same space, not old broadcast)

    probably they were scared of getting sued for all of the copyright violations on user generated video sites like youtube

      YouTube had the huge advantage of being a little startup. They didn't have enough assets to make them a very worthwhile target for a billion dollar law suit. Scribd is in a similar situation I think. Startups can afford to be super daring.
