Natch. But given that you cant control what formats people are using
on the web in the short term you are left with two choices:

 a) Tell people they shouldn't use YouTube
 2) Tell people to use non-free Flash players to use YouTube
 d) Provide a free software alternative for people to use YouTube

Option a is doomed to failure and is incredibly wrongheaded.

Option 2 is untenable for a free software advocate.

Option d is the only option left...
