The power company has an obligation to protect their employees from being injured if you are transmitting power onto the line when the line is supposed to be deactivated. They also have an obligation to prevent you from transmitting power at the wrong voltage or frequency, in case that harms their equipment or other customers. I don't see a material difference here between that and what YouTube has done in this case.
