Well, for a second this seemed like a shocking piece of news:
MTV owner Viacom Inc. sued the popular video-sharing site YouTube and its corporate parent, Google Inc., on Tuesday, seeking more than $1 billion in damages on claims of widespread copyright infringement.Viacom claims that YouTube has displayed nearly 160,000 unauthorized video clips from its cable networks, which also include Comedy Central, VH1 and Nickelodeon.
Then, I checked on it. And realized that Google could show up on Viacom's front door with a truckload of $100 bills and not miss a beat.
They have $11 BILLION in cash and investments that they're sitting on. Now that's how you make a shitload of money in advertising: One click-through at a time.

In an effort to resist nasty spamming always on my web page, I would be likely to keep a modest disclaimer adjacent to the comment box. I may make it possible for the web log readers be assured that I support all of them to publicise his or her web-sites provided they provide some decent information correlated to the article. I don’t mind doing work a little bit so as to acquire a valuable link.
