Have you really read the youtube.com terms of service??
this part here where it says youtube.com can use any videos you upload for ANY purpose it wants without your permission. You also give any viewer of youtube.com the same, to use your videos for ANY purpose they wish! You can only revoke these conditions by removing your submission from youtube's site.

"However, by submitting the User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the YouTube Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby grant each user of the YouTube Website a non-exclusive license to access your User Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such User Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Service. The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the YouTube Website."

this brings up the interesting questions of violation of trademark and copyright law and if you waive your rights under those laws by posting on youtube.com. Furthermore, if any persons and/or youtube are using your materials under the license above, when you remove your content as provided for above, will those persons and/or youtube then STOP using your content and derivative works according to this TOS?

hmmm
