Cuban: Upload porn to YouTube

Mark Cuban says Google is lying when they say they can't prevent copyrighted content from appearing on YouTube and Google Video.

His proof is that you can't find porn on those sites, he assumes people are uploading it, but Google is keeping it off, somehow. Presumably if they can do that, they can keep people from uploading full-length movies.

To help prove his point he asks people to upload their personal porn collections, and see if they get through.
