Google Video is being sued over copyright infringement
Google did not identify the claimant or eleborate on the suit, which was revealed in documents filed by Google today with the SEC.
The suit may be a sign of things to come when Google completes its takeover of YouTube, the AP’s story suggests.
CNET recently published a nice summary of the numerous copyright lawsuits that Google is involved in. The New York Times recently wrote about the extensive legal team fighting these battles.
Update: Google is also lobbying against proposed changes in Australian copyright law, which could open the door for claimants to sue the search engine for indexing and caching web pages.
