Imagine that you, as a vlogger, start getting 1000's of requests per day. How could you possibly keep up with that? (Especially if you aren't making a profit off of it?)
This is one of the things the Creative Commons solves. And although I like the Creative Commons licenses, I have a feeling that (although ALOT of people here will and do use it) not everyone here will use it. (And the aim here is to create a solution for everyone, regardless of whether I this everyone should be using copylefted licenses like some of the Creative Commons licenses :-) )
To make it scale, it needs to be automated. To make it automated, it could be done by making s "language" that expresses this in a machine-readable form. I.e., a machine readable for that expresses the vloggers "permissions", "requirements", and "restrictions". ( I.e., a machine readable license.)

Ask the creator of the video/blog what they would prefer?

I honestly think a lot of these problems arise through lack of
communication,
as seems to have been demonstrated by the whole Veoh thread - once they
showed that they would comply with people's wishes regarding their
content,
opinion shifted significantly towards the positive. This may prove an
object-
lesson in how to conduct such matters: ask first.
