NBC & YouTube

Breitbard.com says that NBC has enlisted in the content-creators' offensive against YouTube, joining Viacom on a brief in the Tur litigation in Los Angeles.

An English football league has also sued YouTube, in NY.

ADDENDUM (09:40 A.M.): As Tomas points out in his comment, I have just shown my abysmal ignorance of the sporting scene, and of the importance of this second law suit: "An English football league? AN? The Premiership is only the biggest and most prestigious sports league in the world!"

An English football league? AN? The Premiership is only the biggest and most prestigious sports league in the world!

Think about the NFL, then imagine that the rest of the world followed it passionately for 10 months a year.

So it's a big deal that they've sued YouTube.
