The stated business model is advertising.

But I think the original founders always ment to grow it big and sell it for big money. They got a lot of money from venture capitalists at the start.
I suppose google will keep the advertising business model. But it seems copyright holders are smelling money behind the company and may go after it.

Yes indeed, but I think Google took that in consideration already.
