You don't think YouTube contains a large percentage of web video, or you don't think Google bought YouTube?

  Oh... But they don't own the content there - whoever put it there is free to port it to, say, Soapbox. Or Vimeo, or blip.tv or justin.tv or even S3. And even delete the instances in YouTube, leaving Google with nothing. The only problem with that is that Soapbox no longer exists. Because Microsoft didn't want to spend any more money on it.

    What incentive would there be for everyone to remove their content from YouTube?
    • rbanffy 16y ago
      None. Does Google need to provide one too? But Microsoft, since it's so offended by what Google is doing, could resurrect Soapbox. They should have plenty of cash coming from those Android patents, BTW. They could also have bought YouTube (Google had their own Google Video, but that was going nowhere and credit goes to them for seeing YouTube first).
