Xunlei is a bigger enabler of piracy than even youtube. The US content rights holders should now add China to the areas from which they want a Google payment to allow Google to keep running their content on Youtube and now Xunlei. I am guessing that Google made this deal for the following reasons: A. Makes Google's default search service within the xunlei application B.Gives Google a scaled platform on which to start testing video Google ads in China C. Starting to ramp up marketing spend to begin to battle Baidu. I think Google has been holding back on some marketing dollars until they felt their product and infrastructure was really in place in China. Now it is, so watch out Baidu. Google could spend on more on marketing in China than Baidu's total revenue in a year (225-250M USD in 2007) with basically no impact to Google's global bottom line. One bit of complete speculation I heard from a friend in China's Internet business. Why couldn't they take the Xunlei technology and roll it out in the US, to compete with all the Bittorrent clients out there? Google has no problems with piracy.

If Google China invested into Xunlei and placed Google Toolbar as part of the installation, it would help Google penetrate a larger market share of Internet users in China. And also Xunlei is a video-centric web company and since Google acquired YouTube, it proves Google is ready to believe that Internet video is the way of the future.  It would work out perfectly.
