Also agree, although I think YouTube are in a position where they are strong enough to dictate. Unfortunate, but true. Until places like Vimeo and DailyMotion etc get more popular, YouTube have for now got the monopoly!
Its just like eBay. They help the buyers more then sellers, much more. They always side with the buyer in any dispute. Again, its becaus ethey pretty much have the monopoly and they know it!
