We all know sooner or later video-sharing sites will get slap with lawsuits from studios. Now with YouTube under Google’s product brand, studios realize they can cash in on lawsuits against deep pocket Google. Universal is suing two companies, Bolt Inc and Grouper Network Inc for allowing their site users to upload copyrighted material. It looks like Universal is taking this two company for a legal spin as a test case to go after Google’s YouTube. Unlike Warner Music that have signed a distribution agreement with YouTube, Universal has put up a threat against YouTube. Many analysts were not sure if YouTube was a good acquisition for Google with its legal liability. I guess we have to see how this will play out.
