Please Im begging someone to respond to my point about creative commons material needing to be available for download & redistribution in order to stay true to the cc license.
So whilst the specifics you mention are true, its not just about giving additional rights to youtubes partners. Its about the rights youtube denies to its viewers. Theres nothing to stop people putting their own cc material on youtube, but it doesnt really mean much unless they also host it somewhere else that enables others to use the rights that cc gives them. Putting stuff on youtube doesnt harm your ability to release the same work under less restrictive cc terms elsewhere, jsut the same as its possible for me to release a video on the web under cc but also license it commercially to specific entities to include on a DVD or whatever.
