A judge can still tell the difference between stolenvideos.com embedding your content from hackers.com versus howto.com embedding a youtube video.
Why would content hosted on youtube.com servers be different from hosted on hackers.com?

If the content is the same and re-distributed the same way, the law and judges shouldn't distinguish between the two. Because this is about embedding, not placement.
