arguing that it has not infringed on the rights of the media company

So Google doesn't think that hosting and showing copyright videos is copyright infringement? They knew that YouTube had videos subject to copyright long before they bought it...well they should have anyway!

lawsuit threatens the viability of its popular YouTube video-sharing Web site as well as others like it.

Google should have thought about that before they spent a vast amount of cash on buying a website!

I expect some sort of deal to be struck soon.
