Who owns the Youtube videos, I thought it was Youtube. I did a project a year ago, where I asked the uploader for permission to transcode the Youtube .flv to an iPod compatible .mp4. So, I could put it on 1 of my iTunes video-podcast. I did a similar thing for another project:
http://strings07.blogspot.com Except, they were uploading QT videos & they gave me permission to transcode them to .mp4 for the "Strings 07" iTunes video-podcast. We wanted Apple to do an article about how the new Technology was helping the Content/Distribution model for physics conferences. We actually got a response from Apple, but haven't followed up to push it through.

I think that since Google owns the space that the Video is uploaded on that they do own the Videos. Also the fact that they have the right to remove any Videos on Youtube Answerer 2 It's more of a shared ownership. Both the uploader and Youtube can remove the videos at their discretion. All videos uploaded are subject to youtube's policies. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
