Comments on: YouTube Re-defines Entertainment With Move To Stream Legal TV Shows & Movies http://www.watblog.com/2009/04/20/youtube-re-defines-entertainment/ The Refreshing Blog on Web, Advertising and Technology in India!

Infact, most industry experts criticized the move because Google’s massive financial backing gave copyright holders enough motivation to sue Goo-tube. And although the search giants have used YouTube as the cornerstone of their online strategy, they have yet to crack a brilliant scheme to monetize their $1.65 billion acquisition. YouTube will always be a legend for showing us exactly how vast the market for UGC is. But from a business perspective, it is admin served, professional content where advertisers want their ads seen.

True there is so much of content that users upload and "it may be difficult to address every video" but youtube being youtube should be able to do that. no i guess it is not the death of cable...i watch this newly launched www.startv.in (they should get more programs in) and watch cricket and news online...as I seldom get to watch TV..i would say that there is a very new audience out there and companies like hulu, startv, ndtv, youtube are going the right way. how long it may take to get the audience to reciprocate is the question.. btw MTNL here in india has been offering IPTV for quite sometime...would like to know how many takers are there for it I think everyone is following hulu.com very meticulously. to start off with youtube before they get into streaming “legalized” TV content, they should first clean up their prsent site and get rid of the pirated content.
