Re: Cuban more and more becomes...

Hit the nail on the head. Keep in mind that Cuban is responsible for HDNet. YouTube is the polar opposite of Cuban's strategy. He thinks people care about high video quality, regardless of what the actual content is. YouTube is about having popular content regardless of quality. The popularity of YouTube rubs in his face the fact that content, not quality is king. It doesn't surprise me at all that Cuban doesn't like it.
Sure, there's lots of illegal stuff going on. But that's not much different from the beginning of music sharing. The television studios need to learn from the music industry's mistakes and figure out a fair compensation mechanism to give people what they want. He is very right that the lawsuits will start the moment there's someone with deep pockets to sue.
