We still have to promote them, though. Does YouTube retain copyrights on the videos uploaded to the website?
I assume not. The BBC, for example, has an account and uploads pretty lengthy clips to YouTube. Perhaps Wikimedia should do the same thing?
Being copyleft, our content can be reused quite freely (including being posted on YouTube). I simply contest using YouTube/Microsoft Live or any other such site which uses proprietory software as the *primary* distributor of our content.
Found the following at http://www.youtube.com/t/terms:
