yep....but he still has to turn up for work on Monday like the rest of us

It's a condition the sale that the dudes who were running it keep doing so.

Google's lawyers will be kept busy, that's for sure. The queue for lawsuits thanks to copyright infringment is growing by the day.

yep...going after YouTube was pointless for them as they didn't have any capital to speak of, to go after. Going after Google....now that's a completely different kettle of fish. Can't believe Google didn't think of that before they jumped in. They're likely to have something up their sleeve to get around the big lawsuits.

Probably the same way Youtube does it. Basically their copyright notice says:

"We won't remove anything until you ask us to. We don't even "know" it's there."
