google's optimal solution is to simply buy Viacom.

That got a laugh out of me, but they probably DO have enough money now to actually buy Viacom

The Problem I have with most official video sources is as follows:

- Sometimes the player will not rewind or fast forward right if you stop a show and want to pick up where you left off later. I'm looking at you, CBS Price is Right Player.

- In early beta players, video is sometimes slow loading...

- The same 20 second add five times in a show is a tad annoying...either cut the add, or show different short ones..

If youtube can upgrade the quality, the companies can use this service to their advantage as well..putting shows on there to gauge the audience for potential DVD sales, for instance. Seeing how many hits an old show gets for a potential revival.

If only the old fogies at studios wouldn't be so scared of technology and see the great potentials it has..

I'd amend that to say: Google's optimal solution is to simply buy Viacom just to shut them down.

Why does all of Viacom deserve to be shut down because they have an overly ambitious legal department?

Though Google buying Viacom and trying to become a media company would probably be rather bad...
