Cuban was talking about how stupid it would be to purchase it last week. Now that a big company owns it, all the illegal content will have to be removed. The owners of the content will sue the piss out of them.

$1.65 billion? eek Last I checked, YouTube consisted primarily of low-res videos of teenagers doing stupid stuff. Famous last words, "Hey guys, watch this!"

I think Google just wanted to buy out the competition after releasing their own Google Video.

Oh well, I like the fact they serve the Video for Free.

I actually look forward to adding more Xterra Footage when I get my new camera. [ThumbsUp]
