A great relationship with Google

Esto lo dice Chad Hurley, confundador de Youtube, a The Guardian.

“It’s been a great relationship with Google. It has given us the freedom to continue to focus on users and create a product that would work for them and keep them engaged,” enthuses Hurley. “It’s also given us time to really work on the advertising opportunities that are going to work not only for the online community, but for advertisers and partners as well.” He is acutely aware that the site has to start making serious money. And, with lawsuits from MTV-owner Viacom, the FA Premier League and Elvis Presley’s estate looming, this will also be the year in which YouTube either solves its copyright and licensing issues for good or is sunk by them.
