It doesn't matter. If you upload a video to youtube, you're doing it under youtube's terms of service, not under whatever license you may use for distributing the video to other people. If I release a video publicly under a license which says "if you distribute this video, you must pay me a million dollars" and then upload it to youtube, it just means that there are now two licenses -- not that youtube owes me a million dollars.
- schoen 10y agoSure, but plenty of people are also uploading other people's CC-licensed works to YouTube, in which case a genuine legal conflict has been created. Edit: (which doesn't mean YouTube is bound by the provisions of the CC license, but does mean it doesn't have valid permission from the uploader or copyright holder to display the works)
- cperciva 10y agoRight. But that's no different from any other work being uploaded in violation of copyright law; the process for that is "report the violation and Youtube will take it down", not "Youtube should add a download link".
