Here is my take.這裡是我的考慮。 I think the main motive behind the acquisition is more towards video ad revenue rather than information accessibility.我認為主要的動機是獲取更多的對視頻廣告的收入，而非信息無障礙環境。 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.不過，他們要付出一個真正的高昂的代價，隨著許多漏洞，如法律責任由版權持有人可以消滅YouTube的存在一樣，從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.另一個問題是，著作權法是相當含糊的條款，在網上的解釋和可能發揮了重要作用， Google的法律責任。 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，我建議在Google和YouTube花費一些真實的時間和金錢試圖說服這些版權持有人建立夥伴關係，與他們，因為他們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.在另一個方面，他們要也激勵雅虎和微軟開始與時俱進，在其視頻服務，以及可能的收購。 If this becomes succesful, yahoo and msn are going to feel the pain of not taking action of acquiring youtube.如果這成為取得成功，雅虎和MSN是會感到的痛苦，不採取行動收購的YouTube 。 Well, it is really the choices and the actions we take that really determine the success.好，實在是選擇和行動，我們認為，真正決定成功。 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.我假設他們有一些初步的計劃財源的YouTube ， Google廣告，也許。 I know I wouldn’t have done it, if I was in Eric’s chair.我知道我不會做，如果我是在Eric的主持會議。
It is also a tacit admission that their 20% projects aren’t that successful as they would like us to believe這也是一個默契，承認其20 ％的項目是不是成功，因為他們想使我們相信，
