I applaud Google giving people a clean an cleanly legal way to do this, and I applaud this as a creative new revenue stream. Downloading the viseos was always a desire, and since you can watch them for free online, it seems fair to charge for an added functionality. If they keep the purchasing as simple as iTunes does, they'll have good uptake. There's a lot to be said for the notion that people aren't pirates and thieves of music and video content because they want to be, but rather because there is not yet a fair and functional model that that serves their needs.
