If you're like me, you remember the original Napster with great fondness as a technology that worked incredibly well until it, uh, got evicerated. The new, improved corporate version is the same only in name (although it is trying hard). Could it be that YouTube is destined for the same fate? This TechWeb article in Information Week - Analyst Firm Predicts YouTube Is 'Goin' Down' puts forth the Napster-like redux of YouTube being "sued into oblivion" by studios unless it proactively acts to remove copyrighted content before the jackbooted thugs start knocking on the door.
