I was at Open Video Conference last fall, and the YouTube representative on one of the morning panels said that users should make videos explaining and teaching about fair use, inferring it wasn't YouTube's responsibility to help with this stuff. Many glares from the group I was with.
Also, what's up with the tone of the video? Condescending is one way to put it, but why do they have to frame the video as if "this copyright stuff can easily be understood by a 5 year old who likes wacky cartoons"?
