The TechCrunch article says people have until May 13 to download the videos. You just can't stream them after April 29.

Still, this is a pretty bad job on Google's part IMHO. More notice would have been good. (What if people were traveling or were sick for a month or something?) Plus Google should have an option to automatically transfer videos to Youtube.

Can't understand why Google's messing this up so badly.

In terms of public relations (when it comes to the "unwashed masses"), Google has always been a very reactive company. This is at the core of some of their most intractable problems / failure to perform (e.g. "social").
