...considering he made his money in this sort of realm, and else nobody here can claim the same, I'd say he has a lot more cred than anyone else here in commenting on the market and economic reality of ventures like YouTube, whether anyone likes it or not

He's right, in that YouTube would need a much more-solid plan in order to justify its value to anyone. They exist in a grey area that will (and should) scare some potential suitors off -- the most popular things on YouTube are usually illegal and unauthorized for them to even have. If you ripped those away, their model no longer makes sense. And that's not an unlikely scenario necessarily.
I have to agree. After you get through the first 6 posts of all anti-cuban or attacks on the man, we get to the first real thought out post.

Cuban has a point here. A lot of the videos I have seen on YouTube are unauthorized for sure. That isn't to say that there are legit things on there, but someone isn't going to invest that much on a site that can be sued at any time. The only reason why it hasn't been sued is because there is no money in companies for them. If someone invests money in them, then they will get sued like crazy. You can take that to the bank for sure.
