Losing Viacom Lawsuit might cost 250$ Billion for Google.

Couple of weeks back we reported on the lawsuit by Viacom on Youtube and Google for allowing its copyrighted videos to be posted on Youtube.

Google responded strongly in their counter filing in Court. Google's filing says "By seeking to make carriers and hosting providers liable for Internet communications, Viacom's complaint threatens the way hundreds of millions of people legitimately exchange information, news, entertainment, and political and artistic expression," . We strongly supported Google's claim.

Doing further research on Viacom's claim we were able to find some hard core facts. What currently looks like a small lawsuit might burst into a major Nuke explosion if Google ever looses the lawsuit. Viacom claims Youtube has more than 150,000 copyright videos and it claims a Billion dollar for it. So what happens if Google wins this lawsuit i am sure other companies won't sit quite.
Companies like CBS, NBC will jump in and will claim their own damages like this Google has to faces lots of companies around the world. I am sure just a lost lawsuit in Youtube will cost Google 50 Billion dollars if other companies claim their share.

Google is a search engine which was developed using other web site's information in their search results. They do have a cache of copyrighted pages crawled on the web so if Youtube is wrong then Google search is wrong too and with all the billions of sites out there Google will go Bankrupt. I estimate Google will need to pay 200 Billion Dollars. Google news also faced a recent major lawsuit from Belgium newspaper group. They want more than 75 million dollars since their news appeared in Google news.

Its Seems Everyone needs a piece of the Google PIE.

Look the following setup of images i tried to portray the 2 lawsuits.

This image shows Google Kingdom and does it look like Sergey brin on the King's chair ;-)

SEO comic strip - Incompetent webmaster whining about his rankings.

We always like legitimate complains to Search engines about spam tactics used by aggressive SEOs. But most of the complains are because of bad understanding of SEO.

We would like to tell them just one thing keep improving your site and you will get the desired result. Complaining to search engines about your competition is not the way to GO.
