Google to respect copyright, gut YouTube

Google officials told British pols it will “take a tough line on copyright” when the acquisition is complete. Thereby making YouTube totally worthless. MP Adrian Sanders observed YouTube “seems to have a [copyright] rule which it doesn’t seem to enforce”, to which Andrew Mclaughlin, Google’s head of global public policy, cunningly replied, “I just can’t say anything about YouTube since it’s not our company.” Convenient defense.
