Yeah Smokey there was a massive blowup about it a while back, people were being
hunted for stealing links. Courts have shown that the specific collection of links on a site
are copyright the site-owner.
Just like the dictionary has words in it which anyone can use.....
It is still copyright violation to copy a whole dictionary into a new one. (red herrings)
People put alot of hours into building relationships and reviewing submissions, tailoring their site to the market
and weeding out the bad stuff...... If you come along and steal that work and the site-owner knows the
value of that work, and the profit you're making from said work..... you will be sued.

Many of the tube sites purposefully post their embed codes so people will post their videos on other sites. Sure it may cost them bandwidth, but most have their site branding and advertising built into their video player. You may have a point with the tgp, but you're off base on this one.
