Here is my take.这里是我的考虑。 I think the main motive behind the acquisition is more towards video ad revenue rather than information accessibility.我认为主要的动机是获取更多的对视频广告的收入，而非信息无障碍环境。 However, they had to pay a really high price for that along with many loopholes such as legal liability from copyright holders that could wipe out YouTube from existence like Napster.不过，他们要付出一个真正的高昂的代价，随着许多漏洞，如法律责任由版权持有人可以消灭YouTube的存在一样，从Napster公司。 Another issue, is that copyright law is quite vague in terms of online interpretations and that could play a major role in Google’s legal liability.另一个问题是，著作权法是相当含糊的条款，在网上的解释和可能发挥了重要作用， Google的法律责任。 So, I would suggest that Google and YouTube spend some real time and money trying to convince these copyright holders to establish partnerships with them as they have with Universal and Sony.因此，我建议在Google和YouTube花费一些真实的时间和金钱试图说服这些版权持有人建立伙伴关系，与他们，因为他们具有普遍性和索尼公司。 On another front, they are going to also motivate yahoo and microsoft to start advancing in their video services as well as possible acquisitions.在另一个方面，他们要也激励雅虎和微软开始与时俱进，在其视频服务，以及可能的收购。 If this becomes succesful, yahoo and msn are going to feel the pain of not taking action of acquiring youtube.如果这成为取得成功，雅虎和MSN是会感到的痛苦，不采取行动收购的YouTube 。 Well, it is really the choices and the actions we take that really determine the success.好，实在是选择和行动，我们认为，真正决定成功。 Lets wait and see.可以拭目以待。

I am assuming they have some preliminary plans to monetize YouTube, with Google Ads perhaps.我假设他们有一些初步的计划财源的YouTube ， Google广告，也许。 I know I wouldn’t have done it, if I was in Eric’s chair.我知道我不会做，如果我是在Eric的主持会议。
It is also a tacit admission that their 20% projects aren’t that successful as they would like us to believe这也是一个默契，承认其20 ％的项目是不是成功，因为他们想使我们相信，
