Cuban not YouTubin

Cuban was noting YouTube's legal exposure is potentially greater, because it downloads a copy to your computer. They do that to save on download expenses if you want to watch it mutliple times. But that could increase the copyright legal exposure, cuz it's giving it away.
Pretty amazing that the Google guys paid, what, $A Million Gabillion in stock for a company that is not profitable and spends, according to the Washington Post, $2 million a week for the bandwidth (tube) to transmit all those video clips of college students lip synching. Post also speculated that users could be driven away from YouTube if it gets any more commercial, noting there was a user backlash over the Puffy Combs videos he put on there.
