NBC Universal and Fox on the Offensive

Via BBC News:

"NBC Universal and Fox will put top shows such as 24, House and Heroes as well as hit movies on the site, which will carry advertising.

"The initiative is designed to give the firms greater control over how their content is accessed on the internet.

"Viacom has launched a $1bn copyright infringement lawsuit against YouTube."

They should just cut Jack Bauer loose on that ass. It could be over in one season. Not even. Make it a minor plotline. YouTube will be dead by next Monday at 10/9 Central.
