Lexblog TV interviews Gray Reed attorney Travis Crabtree on the allegations that Google is illegally favoring its own products when placing search results. In the interview, they discuss:

• The basis for ShopCity.com's allegations and why these came about recently-the cause being a change in Google's algorithm.
• Google's history of allegations like this; they are currently facing a lot of heat in Europe.
• Why ShopCity.com would have a very hard time succeeding in an antitrust case against Google.
• Why Google should be more concerned about government agencies taking action against them than private litigation.
• What's likely to happen next: a formal FTC investigation.
