An excerpt from the discussion:
unfortunately, what cuban fails to remember is that his are the same cries that were heard when people started sharing mp3s - a trend that led to the success of iTunes, the iPod and a million musicians around the world who would have otherwise gone unnoticed. sharing videos, sharing music. it's really not much different. and as iTunes has already shown it recognizes this inevitable change in how we view video copyright laws by recently starting to sell movies alongside mp3s in it's music store, so will all the other smart companies out there. and chances are, youtube is one of these smart companies, considering they have already signed a deal with warner to distribute music videos.
