Google is negotiating the purchase of YouTube

One by one, Russian online media reprints “sensational expert opinions” that the most popular YouTube service will surely suffer the fate of the Napster network, information about the YouTube and Google talks is being circulated in the Western media. And this information every day finds more and more confirmation.

The fact that Google intends to acquire the third most visited American web service YouTube, reports Wall St. Journal ; even before reporting this solid media about a possible deal, wrote TechCrunch . All authors of articles refer to reliable sources. The amount of the transaction is estimated by experts at 1.6 billion US dollars.

For Google, this purchase can bring substantial dividends, both in the image plan and in terms of revenue. Discard opinions about copyright infringement by YouTube users is also not worth it. But it is quite clear that if Google is really interested in absorbing such a powerful service, legal issues were probably worked out before the start of negotiations.
