While Viacom (VIAB)'s copyright lawsuit against Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s YouTube continues to drag on, other media companies are learning to stop worrying and start loving the video-sharing site.

On Monday, MGM Worldwide Digital Media said it had struck a deal with YouTube to make full-length movies and promotional clips from MGM's library available online.

 

"We're looking to mine the breadth and depth of the MGM library to build out and promote branded, multiplatform opportunities on demand, online, and wherever viewers consume their entertainment," said Jim Packer, co-president, MGM Worldwide Television, in a statement.
