I don't understand this. YouTube's contents is entirely produced (or stolen) by users. How can/will Google's ownership change that?

Unfortunately that's only true (if it's true) for movies, it would seem. I've been involved with groups who got threatening letters from lucasfilm's lawyers before, and it was pretty innocent non-commercial stuff.

Beyond random cynicism, any particular reason to think google can/will change the way youtube operates? I seriously can't see it happening, users uploading videos is kind of the whole point of the site.

Why would a site that offers free mail suddenly charge for a free video sharing site they bought?The only thing that seems plausable is that they remove the adult content ban and charge just for that one.
