I will say this, recently M Cuban was out bashing anybody who would take a piece of youtube. He said that it would be "nutz" to get involved with them citing all the copyright liabilities.

It appears they're overcoming a lot of these ( liabilities that is).
Nice article.

oT,

Alas, I had zero shares/options in YouTube and no money in Sequoia (their VC investor).

I'd have to agree with Cuban re: liability issues. I watch copyrighted videos on YouTube all the time and I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that the creators of those videos aren't getting paid.

Cuban said "anyone who buys that (YouTube) is a moron" because of potential lawsuits from copyright violations.

"There is a reason they haven't yet gone public, they haven't sold. It's because they are going to be toasted," said Cuban, who has sold start-ups to Yahoo and CompuServe.
