One exchange from a Q&A style interview with David Kushner:
IEEE Spectrum: Where do you see YouTube 10 years from now?
Cuban: They are gone. They will be rolled right into Google Video, and Google Video will have ways to evaluate the video before it's posted, and that will be fine. And maybe YouTube URLs will redirect to Google Video. If anything, if I'm wrong, and the safe harbor laws apply, then I'll create a business leveraging that. Because if safe harbor laws might apply, and YouTube chooses to limit their file sizes to 100 megabits—I will limit file sizes to 100 terabits! Let's see what kind of good stuff we can have.

See Also: Copyright Emptor! With that out of the way, even after this directory (they don't host anything, just link to it) of recent movies, tv shows, etc. has been featured in The Guardian, The NY Times, and elsewhere, it's still very easy to find tons of current (valid copyright) content. No extra software required beyond the correct video players and codecs.
