Of course...without googles $, what would they sue for?

i love it!

it was only time before it would happen

they're not suing youtube tho
nice twist.

lets see how many wont read and reply

or to be exact...4 business days

i'm guilty....

makes perfect sense...take out the competition

This will be intresting since youtube owner is now google.It will be gigant fight.

The RIAA has already sued individual users of YouTube for adding music to their videos.

great, it is going to happen. But i guess google knew this and has already made plans to counter the cost of these kind of sues. they are not crazy.

didn't see that one coming :)

Are you retarded? YouTube already has a deal with Universal thus Google and Universal now have a deal. Universal can't sue Google for shit.

wow this reminds me of other threads where people dont read or believe everything they read or just post lies to be built upon more falsehoods buncha people who just jump on any bandwagon

Mob Mentality

I keep getting these damn popups with AFF pages all over the place... funny coincidences

Regardless of people not reading the contents, the title is still misleading and not true:

"Universal sues video-sharing websites -YouTube "

Sorry, "the title is still misleading and not true" but it still relates to YouTube?
 

Sorry, if you guys find the title of this thread misleading & untrue but in our business generating traffic is the name of the game.

darksoul, Why does your banner say " JIMJIMI hit me up for a hosting deal"? You can't be serious.

thats fucked up..

I know. What's up with that darksoul.

did some of you even read this?

My faith in the mental capacity of most GFYers has been futher shaken by this thread.

reading the link now...

they should pay everyone for thier clicks

They waited for them to be purchased by a larger company.

Good thinking.

This might be fun to watch.

They want a piece of the cake :)

JimiJimi check your net, it's bursting with drive by posts

Wow so many idiots on gfy.. It's great.

Youtube isn't getting sued they already covered there ass good job UT

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for YouTube to have gotten a licensing deal with Universal rather than be sued?

:1orglaugh

lmfao :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I predict 3 pages of idiots before people start to catch on... :1orglaugh

wow, just wow

I wonder how many taxpayer dollars were wasted on educating you for 13 years.

It was about fucking time ... I'm sure they waited for the Google deal, to be able to get a larger chunk at a trial ...

lol.

8cha

Can I be a part of the mob?
