Mark Cuban recently declared his own war on free tv online, demanding that networks stop putting free content on the internet. Mark Cuban that free tv online will only kill networks in the long run as he says happened with newspapers. He went to say that newspapers made the original sin of putting their content free online, something which has been hurting them.

As Mark Cuban stated “Our check goes to pay our bill. The money then goes to pay for the tv network, which in turn goes to pay for the content. Its a system that works. Like any good system, there are those that want to have their cake and eat it to. The content we pay for ? They want it for free. We pay for it, they want it for free.”

However ask yourself why people are switching to watch tv free online? Maybe the crazy expensive cable bills that keep rising aren’t helping?

Fortunately no one seemed to agree with Mark Cuban, with some users asking what he was “smoking”.
