Mark Cuban may have a chunky hunk of money invested in the movie business -- he owns Landmark Theaters and Magnolia Pictures -- but piracy doesn't seem to keep him up at night.
"You can't stop it. There isn't really a solution," he said, speaking at a keynote event at TechCrunch50. "At different stages of our lives we have more time than money . . . I don't think [the people who download movies] were going to buy much anyway."
That hasn't stopped Cuban from fighting file sharing, though. Magnolia Pictures, his independent film distributor, reportedly subpoenaed Google a couple times -- once to get the names/identities of file sharers, and another time to get Google to take down an unauthorized video from Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
