Cuban Takes Shot at You Tube

September 19, 2006

Matt Cuban yesterday engraved the tombstone for social network fav YouTube. In part, Cuban said:

“Take away all the copyrighted material and you take away most of Youtube’s traffic. Youtube turns into a hosting company with a limited video portal. Like any number of competitors out there that decided to follow copyright law

Youtube, we hardly knew you.”

Whether you like Cuban’s style or not, he has amassed quite a successful track record in business and he does make some very good points about whether YouTube has a business model that can be profitable.
