- YouTube will not face the same demise as Napster. There is lot of original content in YouTube from "Death Threat Dramas" to "Complete Comedy". So YouTube is the home of this huge reality shows. Once YouTube provides enough connectivity or quality where you can hook-up to you tube via TV (like IP TV way.. not connecting from your computer), its the future.

YouTube has too much original content than Napster ever had, and there is also change in attitude (a-bit) on the content industry, see their partnership with BitTorrent.
ViaCom is bitter over Google not making concessions, they want to use this law-suit as an arm-twisting tactics, nothing more. I would be the least surprised individual if there is a off-court settlement on this case.
