Here are the first moves in the Google/YouTube copyright thing - Time-Warner is making noises about infringement (now that there are deep pockets involved):

Dick Parsons, Time Warner’s chairman and CEO, says he plans to pursue copyright complaints against YouTube. Time Warner owns AOL, Warner Brothers, Time Inc, HBO, Time Warner Cable, Home Box Office, New Line Cinema and Turner Broadcasting System, but is no longer associated with Warner Music, which has already struck a deal to supply music videos to YouTube users. Parsons says the decision has nothing to do with the $1.6 billion Google-YouTube deal on Monday, but it’s worth noting that Time Warner had a vague interest in buying YouTube, and thought the price was too high.

Chuckle. Nothing to do with the Google deal my foot :) Before this, they could try suing empty pockets. Now, they've got Google. Send out for popcorn; this is going to go extra innings.
