GigaOm’s Apple-YouTube Speculation

What a dumb idea. YouTube is feared and despised by the record/movie/TV companies that Apple is courting for the iTunes Music Store. I love YouTube, but the simple truth is that their stock in trade is redistributing without permission video clips whose copyrights are held by others. (Also: “Steve Jobs” wouldn’t be the one to buy YouTube; “Apple Computer” would.)
