   I think Google will always come up with good services or options for its users. Only thing annoying to me is the maximum duration of You-tube up-loadable video is 15 mins. If Google does something to increase it, it will be better.

   Not sure

   Something that has been bothering me about youtube for a while now is clicking on a video then to get the message that this video 'can't be played in your country due to whatever'. Well, it would have been much more interesting not to list that video in the first place.
   
   So I'm not sure google is always coming up with good services.

   If Google want content they will need to produce it themselves or finance a production house, because those "people" over there are not nice people and they don't want business, they want to be called captain and like Ahab they will try to find a dick mob oops a mob dick :)

   Re:

   I don't know exactly how it's done, but I watched a 22 min video yesterday. Someone... somehow... can get longer videos. You may want to check into it.

   Your article is pure speculation. You have no basis for your argument. You have no idea why Google bought anything unless you were part of the decision process. Pure speculation but something to watch.

   I hate DRM just as much as everyone else, but I hate not being able to watch content even more. I can see the need for DRM (sorta) for streaming media, but it should be kept out of media that is purchased. For example, I can totally understand why Netflix should be made so it's impossible (very hard) to copy movies that you stream. However, if I purchase music or movies online, I should be able to copy to any device I own without jumping through hoops.

   "Google would legitimize technology that purposely is designed to destroy value for consumers."
   
   I hate DRM too, but that statement is a stretch. I think it wasn't designed to destroy value even if it does.

    Producers (read MPAA/RIAA labels & studios) demand it

    In order for Google to get a lot of video streaming sites (Netflix for example) to put their applications on the Android market, they need "robust" (aka mainstream) DRM for the devices. This is one way for them to be able to entice those providers to hookup with the Android AppStore. You don't have to like DRM (I hate it and won't do business with anyone who requires it), but it is a fact of life right now... :-(

    How can they do that on an open source system? Open source is incompatible with DRM.

    Re:

    Of course DRM is designed to destroy value. It hampers flexibility, convenience and prevents sharing and/or re-sale (at least in theory if not practice). That's the point of DRM.
