You tube is no different from Napster in this regard. If Napster went down then Youtube should also.

Youtube is free advertising for Viacom. They can accept its popularity and profit, or they can try to sue it out of existence and die.

You can't sue your way to sales. It's been tried many times. Suing the VCR, suing the cd burner, suing napster, suing music fans. It fails every time.

One tiny difference - Napster didn’t have Google’s billions to defend itself with.
