Google Video was unable to avoid a fate that could repeatedly comprehend YouTube : a few hours ago it became known about a lawsuit filed against Google’s “branded” video hosting service. It is reported by Mashable, with reference to Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The lawsuit is related to a claim for copyright infringement, but by whom it was filed is not reported. It is expected that the details will be known soon.
Thus, the third video hosting (after Bolt.com and Grouper ) is being persecuted by copyright holders. A somewhat strange situation with Google Video is that managers have not been able to settle issues related to the placement of legally protected materials, as has been repeatedly done on YouTube.
