Everyone was saying that the YouTube deal was a bad idea because of the copyright issues. Of course, Google knew about these issues as well. I can't help but think now that they had this in mind all along, to buy them and then duke it out with a major media giant over copyright laws. Surely, if they win this case, that would set some major precedence which might help other areas they are in as well.
- usablecontent 20y agoThe point that you are making was explained in detail by some fellow in a post titled "Maybe Google Wanted to be Sued: YouTube and Plan B" http://www.michiknows.com/2007/03/14/maybe-google-wanted-to-be-sued-youtube-and-plan-b/ http://www.michiknows.com/2007/03/14/maybe-google-wanted-to-be-sued-youtube-and-plan-b/ The post is really thought provoking and got Digged, slashdotted and reddited. Do give it a look
- BrandonM 20y agoThanks for the link. That's basically the idea that I was considering, but obviously more in depth. It was a very good post.
