TimeWarner Threatens To Set The Lawyers On YouTube

[engine]

The CEO of TimeWarner is threatening to sue YouTube for 'breach of copyright', according to newspaper reports. Dick Parsons, the chairman and chief executive of Time Warner 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.'

The threat follows similar warnings from News Corp. It emerged last week that the Murdoch empire was displeased that Google did not allow it an 'opportunity to participate in the sale process' and was seeking an urgent meeting to 'discuss new ways of working together'.

Childish posturing.

YouTube said - before google closed in - that they were looking to legalize, and started doing deals to prove it.

He even says 'you can assume we're negotiating' - so why the public threats?

The guy must have been Skool Bully at Harvard business school ;)
