Hi everyone: Which goes back to my original point of why bother to care about YT quality video in the first place? We all know it sucks compared to iPod MP4 and even other Flash hosts (BlipTV comes to mind).
If he really wants to use Flash and wants to maintain control over his copyright, YT is HARDLY the place to do it. You know that as well as I do. Besides EVEN IF someone were to steal his work, all he has to do is direct TPTB at YT to his blog where he has a Creative Commons License. If it's the appropriate license and is authentic, YT will take action against the spoofer. End of story. That said, I personally don't care if someone steals my videos because I don't have anything crying over. But then again, he may have poured hours into his work and from that standpoint, I can see why he'd be a little upset. But either way you look at it, YT is THE LAST place I'd rely on to securely host videos (Whether they're copyrighted commercially or with a Creative Commons License). Just my opinion....

But aside from that, that's about as far as most of us go with YT. Secondly, what you mean by "spoof" accounts? Lastly, if you don't your videos to be downloaded or embedded, why not just simply disable embedding on the options page you see after the video is uploaded? That would solve the problem right there. This way, all other people see when they view your videos are the words..... EMBEDDING DISABLED BY REQUEST (Or words to that affect) where the HTML code for embedding would ordinarily be.

How do you deal with people who decide to make a spoof account and steal your videos?
