Submission + - YouTube to be sued by English Premier League
An anonymous reader writes: The BBC is reporting that the English Premier Football League, with high profile content worth $5.5bn over the next 3 years, has launched a lawsuit against YouTube and its owner Google claiming unspecified damages. This will be the second major attack on the site since Google's purchase, who are already defending a $1bn suit lodged by Viacom. Are the floodgates now gradually starting to open and how many well funded organisations with extremely powerful legal teams can Google hope to successfully defend against before being forced to settle?
