Google Video is the target of legal action this time.
SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc.’s on-line video service has been sued for copyright infringement, providing a possible preview of the legal trouble that may plague the Internet search leader after it takes over YouTube Inc. and its library of pirated clips, the company said Wednesday.
Seems like the video search industry is taking a big hit. Google is specifically taking a big hit because of the recent acqusition of YouTube.com. Seemingly enough, copyright owners have been waiting until the YouTube deal closes to start the suing process beacause they know Google actually has the funds to back up the acuisations and claims.
The legal persuit of this year will be a dark time for Google, but I have no doubts they will stay in the game. They are a big company — with more than 9,000 employees — and they will bounce back and stay on top.
