I tend to agree with Cuban on the subject matter. What's more interesting is how this applies to Pornotube. Essentially Cuban is saying YouTube is only good for user-generated content because of copyright infringement on material produced by other companies, however, user generated ADULT content is pretty much illegal because of 2257 concerns (how many people will make their own home porn, and actually get 2257). So I don't understand how PornoTube can do what its doing unless of course they loaded the site up with all their own content (which would essentially cannibalize on their VOD model)... They're already being sued by one company... It will be interesting to see how it plays out, but overall I think all YouTube is doing is benefitting from the facilitation letting people steal other people's copyrighted material and watch/listen to it for free while hosting it.
