 Google inheriting mantle of MS's most hated status

YouTube is just 1 more battleground that Google has been fighting lately. As Google took over more and more companies and expanded greatly, they are coming in to conflict with many other content and distribution providers on the internet. In the EU, Google has almost replaced Microsoft as the most hated US corporation and ahead of Apple. From now on continued Google growth will be fought tooth and nail by a large number of competitors. While Microsoft may lament the loss of being the only unstoppable force, at least they get to smile at Google's change from the most well loved internet company to one hated by more and more.

None of this is unique to Google. There's always been hardball negotiations between players in the value chain for content distribution. Just think of all the hardball tactics of network programmers vs dish companies or cablecos vs local network affiliates.

Google is just the new kid on the block - albeit a mighty big new kid on the block.

It's one thing to be hated by rivals. It's another to be hated by the users. I don't think Google falls into the latter category at all.
