That was the question that many observers last week when the news broke that Universal Music Group was suing Grouper and Bolt.com for copyright infringements. Well it seems that the reason why YouTube was not included was because YouTube was giving away stock in itself to Universal, Warner Music Group and Sony BMG before it was sold to Google. So now Universal, Warner and Sony could receive $50 million from Google’s acquisition of YouTube.
In some circles that is called settling a lawsuit before it goes to court!
