If you haven't heard already, Google just bought YouTube...probably my blog's largest content provider (or any blog for that matter). It looks like Google is continuing to expand its dominance of the world's internet. So how much does the most popular internet video site go for these days? $1.65 billion. Couldn't they have made it $1.651 billion and given me the measly $0.001 billion? (ARTICLE)The good news is that YouTube's founders are maintaining the right to operate it independently...which is great news for me and you. YouTube's fruitful nature shall continue. Where would we be without direct access to gems like this?

That doesn't mean what you think it means. Lawsuits were already in the pipeline against YouTube. Now that they are under Google's umbrella, things will get even more serious. They may continue to operate as an independent brand separate from Google Video, but that doesn't mean they will be exempt from the legal limitations placed on legitimate companies. With YouTube's millions of users comes an insane amount of liability.
Here's a good article on it by, of all people, Mark Cuban, who is an expert in this area.
