He is wealthy, wired, and he is helping defend Grokster against MGM. Despite the major medias attempts at making this p2p issue look like a classic Disney tale of evil pirates vs. courageous creators, the real battle is turning into old school distributors against digital content creators. That's the way Mr. Cuban and the EFF are looking at it at least. Cuban's current business of HDTV and Film development and distribution might lend some credibility to his argument. If that doesn't, well, his money might. Cuban has written about his reasons for funding Grokster's defense and his take on the real issues behind the recent copyright kerfuffles. This really sort of feels like one of those historical moments you always read about. History in the making so to speak." Link
