I think their whole business model revovles around lock-in. To make it so users have to go to the YouTube site to watch videos. And to make it so authors of videos get stuck using their service.
Once they have lock-in, the have a degree of control. And they can use it for selling advertisements. For selling access to the authors (of the videos on the site). For selling access to the viewers. For selling profile information and data on the users. Etc.
See ya

I just posted a comment on that post.
"That's one of the problems with the YouTube site, their terms and
conditions. Looking at it from a Creative Commons/Remix Culture point
of view, it stinks!
Other sites allow you to post videos with whatever license you want.
These other sites PROMOTE remixing and RESUSE. Not YouTube. Not even
if you post a CC licensed work, they then want to restrict a viewers
use? It doesn't seem right.
I've emailed them twice about these issues and haven't ever heard back.
I guess their Terms of Service state pretty clearly what their
intentions are, combined with how hard htey make it for people to grab
theg videos off the site."
