Dallas owner Mark Cuban is calling Utah Senator Orrin Hatch sleazy for soliciting donations from him.

"It started the time he suggested I sell his music CD on Broadcast.com and culminated with the time he asked me to visit with him in Washington and the net of the discussion was a request for money for the Utah State Library," Cuban wrote.

Cuban claims that Hatch avoided certain questions concerning Hatch's support for the "Induce Act" which would hold businesses that produce certain technology that allows for illegal downloading and distribution of copyrighted materials liable.

"He politely avoided the subject and guided me towards his request for money ... slimy," Cuban wrote.
