1. Depends on what "embedding" means exactly. Are you talking about the same general way that YouTube videos can be embedded, i.e., providing a link and a thumbnail?
2. You might read a July 2007 piece, "Embedded Video and Copyright Infringement," posted by Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society - see http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2007/sam-bayard/embedded-video-and-copyright-infringement http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2007/sam-bayard/embedded-vid....
3. If you're linking to pirated copies of videos as opposed to legitimate sites, check out the LimeWire copyright infringement case. In that case, a federal district judge in NYC held that LimeWire was liable for inducing others to commit copyright infringement - see, e.g., http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=10632737 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=10632737.
Judge Kimba Wood's opinion (yes, that Kimba Wood) is at http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/051110limewireop.pdf http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/051110limew....
4. Usual disclaimer: I'm a lawyer, but not your lawyer, don't rely on this as a substitute for legal advice, etc.

- weekender 16y agoThank you for the links! In terms of embedding, he wants to actually embed the videos on his site so that they are playable there. The Limewire case is hugely intimidating, that is exactly the type of situation I want to avoid.
