As for the YouTube leaders, Chad Hurley kept repeating that YouTube has been given the opportunity and resources to "sharpen their focus" and build a better "new media platform" than they could have done on their own.

:lol8: Yeah, that's what my bosses said when they were bought out too. ...using phrases like "we're excited about the new changes" and "new opportunities for growth".

So, anyways, who was it that was ticked off at YouTube, saying they'd get sued for posting copywritten material? There's a thread here somewhere. But they won't dare touch Google. :cool2:

Yup, Google has the deep pockets, that's for sure. I just finished listening to this book, very interesting read or listen. :lol8:
