Cuban: How Google Or Microsoft Could Screw Up iTunes

Mark Cuban offers a wild idea on how Google or Microsoft could throw a monkey-wrench into the Apple iTunes business model. His theory: either one could write a check to the music industry that would match what Apple is paying - he figures the music industry take from iTunes is about $575 million a year based on the top labels market share of annual downloads of about 1 billion songs - and then start giving away music - maybe the first billion songs - with advertising support.
