Mark is not only co-founder of broadcast.com, which started the whole internet broadcasting groundswell, but is currently the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and involved in many other ventures including HD television content. He is an active investor in leading and cutting-edge technologies and continues to be a sought-after speaker. And he has consistently stood up for technology against the recording and motion picture industries. A content provider that stands up for the little guy and the best future for all. He has even come out strong in support of P2P in the recent Grokster case. While he doesn't support theft, he does support freedom of technology. He's definitely a voice worth paying attention to, and one of the "good guys!"
