This is tangential, but I really dislike how this YouTube channel always downloads the original video, strips it of all information regarding the speaker and the conference and uploads it to their channel. Even though the original is published under Creative Commons Attribution, it still bothers me that they 1) download and reupload (wouldn't this be better accomplished by a playlist?) 2) strip information that makes it appear they produce the content. I'm curious what other people think about this. Anyway, here is the source [1] from their video description.

stripping is not good but corralling and filtering videos maybe not so bad. maybe in the future content id can let people know of people from which a given video originates? that would be a useful exploration feature.

  I'd like curated content to have a larger presence as well. I wonder If enhancing playlists could accomplish this. You can add metadata and arrange while the video remains on its channel. On the other hand I doubt a lot of reuploading is done in earnest.

Not to mention that they're breaking the license by not indicating that they've made changes to the original work. As far as 2) is concerned, that's allowed by Creative Commons Attribution, but it must be indicated that the changes were made. Just the fact that they've cropped the video makes their video a modification.
