Shortly after Google’s recent acquisition of YouTube.com, Time Warner sent a friendly letter over to Google.
Dick Parsons, the chairman and chief executive of Time Warner, fired a shot across the bows of Google, saying his group would pursue its copyright complaints against the video sharing site YouTube.com.
…Mr Parsons told the Guardian: “You can assume we’re in negotiations with YouTube and that those negotiations will be kicked up to the Google level in the hope that we can get to some acceptable position.”

YouTube.com wasn’t really in a position to be fighting large corporations yet. Google? You bet. Google definitely has the resources to be fighting in the big league. Time Warner just wants some agreement, I don’t think they’re really looking to make a lot of money off the deal.
