Cuban: Only a ‘moron’ would buy YouTube

Opinion

Oct 2, 20061 min

Annoying billionaire fan boy Mark Cuban says “only a moron” would buy YouTube. Cuban believes the insanely popular time suck will be “sued into oblivion” due to the copyrighted clips hosted on the site. “They are just breaking the law,” Cuban told a group of advertisers in New York. “The only reason it hasn’t been sued yet is because there is nobody with big money to sue.” I dunno, you’d think the movie studios and TV networks have deep enough pockets if they were so inclined. Who asked Cuban, anyway?
