Eric Schmidt, who is no stranger to the press, didn’t call a press conference or make any official announcements. He just showed up and started talking. A lot of what he had to say revolved around the upcoming lawsuit brought against his company by Viacom, which claims that Google-owned YouTube is a hotbed of illegal content. He did a lot of smack-talking and said that Viacom was a company built by lawsuits. He also expressed his confidence in Google’s anti-piracy practices and their ability to prevail in the suit. But I agree with Andy Beal @ Marketing Pilgrim - it sounds like the nervous banter of a man who’s not quite as confident as he lets on.

Maybe it's just a case of being tired of all the lawsuits. I can't remember the last day I didn't come across someone new trying to sue them. Then again, maybe this suit has more merit than some of the others. Definitely our of character for Google. Maybe it’s just a case of being tired of all the lawsuits.
