As far as I understand it, you wont lose ownership, you will still be the copyright holder of the work. What you are doing is granting rights to youtube to be able to use your stuff in various ways, but this does not usually affect your rights to the work overall, or your ability to license your work to different people or sites with differnet conditions. In just the same way, I could release a video under creative commons to various sites, put it on youtube, sell a DVD of it, charge users to subscribe to a high quality version, and license it to a television station to broadcast, without any contradictions.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Need clarification on YouTube
Thanks Steve, I just reread the ToS too and your correct it seems to just be for using the content on YouTube in various forms. Exposure for what I'm doing is good for me so I've just begun the process of reuploading to YouTube.
