"After all the moves to protect YouTube against litigation, it looks like a lawsuit has been filed Google's own video service, Google Video.  The company is being sued over copyright infringement, Google said a few hours ago, without providing details.  The news follows a claim today by Google CEO Eric Schmidt that they haven't set aside $500 million to cover the legal costs of YouTube, despite blog rumors.  Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, he also said that Google is committed to tackling copyright concerns.  In fact, it's known that both Google and YouTube have been working on systems to track down and remove copyrighted content.\nIt's also worth noting that while fellow video sharing sites Grouper and Bolt.com were both sued by Universal Music Group last month, YouTube and Google Video escaped unharmed, despite having massive amounts of copyrighted content.  One possible reason that YouTube escaped is that Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony BMG were given a stake in the company when it was acquired by Google, essentially paying them off and dissuading them from suing over the unauthorized use of their clips.  So now the rumor mill can start grinding: who has sued Google Video?  Could it be a major player, or a completely unknown rights holder?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
