The YouTube clones are not providing technology or a product - they are providing a service. A service which:
- Encodes
- Stores
- Distributes
Even their own terms state that you
must give them a sublicense for the video. You never see a photocopier, CD/DVD writer etc. asking you to give them a sublicense.
