Mark Cuban and 23 ways to download YouTube vids

So now that almost everyone knows how to download YouTube videos, Mark Cuban questions how long can the good days last?

He asks:

How long do you think it will be before videos appear on Youtube slamming them for which content is selected to participate in the for pay program ? Milliseconds ?

And how long after that will it be before those who do provide content complain that they aren't getting the same level of promotion as others and that Youtube has gone corporate? Instantaneously.

How long will it be until we see content that is on Youtube expressly to earn a living for its creator posted to other video hosting sites?

Which leads to the question of who is going to do something about it? Who is going to take the responsibility of protecting that content that Youtube is paying for?

Or will Youtube tell the content creators they are responsible for monitoring all those sites and sending take down notices?

Or will Youtube add DRM ? The net would love that.

MORE.
