SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc.'s on-line video service has been sued for copyright infringement, providing a possible preview of the legal trouble that may plague the Internet search leader after it takes over YouTube Inc. and its library of pirated clips, the company said Wednesday.
Without providing detail, Google disclosed the video copyright lawsuit in a quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A Google spokesman didn't have any further information about the suit late Wednesday afternoon.
After Google launched its on-line video service in January, the Mountain View-based company quickly found itself trying to catch up with YouTube — an austere startup that emerged as a pop culture sensation a little more than a year after its February 2005 inception in a Silicon Valley garage.
