This is logical, but odd because I was under the impression Google was saying they were not doing this based on Battelle interviews with Eric Schmidt.

If that's correct then its very nice and open of Google to inform those thinking about suing YouTube how much is there for the taking ;)

Travelsite, that's exactly what I was thinking ... trial lawyers will jump all over this one ... can't wait to see the first adwords ads soliciting "victims" of youtube... ;)

Has anyone been talking about Mark Cuban's post about the deal? This seems right in line with what he was talking about.

Sad that the anonymous post on Mark Cubans blog was first to out this situation, then Google denies it and now they're public with it. | "The former is not true," Schmidt said in response to the question of whether a "very large sum of money was set aside to buy peace" between YouTube and big media companies. |

iblaine, yes Google was blatently lying to us. I read that article too about how 'There is no money earmarked for legal battles' and now they are saying there is? WHY? Why tell everyone that you've got a pile of money for potential lawsuits and content sydication deals? Sounds like your asking for every sleeze to come out of the woodwork and go after Google's money. There must be something I'm missing here. Can someone smart tell me why Goog would set themself up like this?
