BIG - An analysis of the announcement, page-24

Go back through my early posts and I have said on a number of occasions that BIG should stick to creating videos - however at $999 each. To be a global video review website needs the resources of a company like Google.

Can you imagine Brandon standing up at a news conference and saying “ we are going to film every street on the planet and call it Big Street View”? How serious would investors take it as a possible logistical undertaking?

Just to correct one part of the post. Google do share and indeed encourage sharing of YouTube video across all platforms. In fact as a contributor to YouTube you have to deliberately select “Do not allow download” otherwise the T&Cs specify content is allowed to be shared. How the content is used is a different copyright issue.
