"Yet Google's move may simply drive YouTube's audience to other sites, where copyright violations are even more egregious. While YouTube imposes a 10-minute limit on uploaded clips, sites like Dailymotion.com in France or Peekvids.com in Denmark screen full-length movies and pirated TV episodes."I suppose Mark Cuban was basically right. Google paid a certain amount of money to acquire YouTube based on a certain expectation of traffic, but after acquiring it they have two very weak choices (1) operate it as it was, keep the traffic, and face monumental lawsuits, thus diminishing the value; or (2) clean it up and lose the traffic, thus diminishing the value.
Either way the only winners are the guys who sold the site to Google.
