This is a different lawsuit though. It's targeting advertisers who are making profit off other peoples copyright. It would be a landmark decision and I believe it would go in favor of the copyright owner.

YouTube/Google and others are never going to let their business model be put on trial. imho[/QUOTE]

There is already a billion dollar lawsuit against Google/Youtube by Viacom that will start in a few months. There are other smaller ones as well. If Viacom wins it will change the way tube sites operate.
