GooTube Looking More Likely

October 9th, 2006

Apparently Google is ignoring my advice and has continued with their quest to purchase YouTube.

Also, Techcrunch points out that there could be copyright technology involved that could help the fight against being sued left and right. Both Google and YouTube are putting together deals with many of the major studios and music companies which could also help protect them, but I still think there could be significant legal hurdles in the future.

It may be a big blow to large competitors of Google as they’ll have a pretty big hold of the video space with YouTube and Google Video combined.

Another interesting note is that the NY Times post mentions that Google sped up the pace of negotiation after Techcrunch initiall announced the rumors.

• Maybe the YouTube Deal Won’t Be a Great One
