YouTube, which is owned by Google, has signed a content deal with several Hollywood movie studios, Reuters reports. Among the studios that will be offering free full-length films and TV shows on YouTube are Sony Pictures, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz, and the BBC, according to the AP. Google, which bought YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006, hopes that the new Hollywood content will boost the site’s attractiveness to advertisers. YouTube’s main competitor is Hulu, a streaming-video website owned by NBC Universal and Fox.

Yes! CBS! That is some great news to me.
Maybe if they didn’t limit videos to under 10 minutes they wouldn’t have had a problem competing against hulu.
