I'm sure there may be others, but one culprit of video grabbing without permission is WatchFirstNow. You can see the conversation heat up halfway down the first page when team 1676 realizes all their match videos were ripped from their youtube and re-uploaded to WFN's private vimeo account: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=127932

I understand what WFN is trying to do by archiving the videos outside personal youtube accounts and in some cases they are given permission to grab videos. I just hope they find a way to achieve this without stepping on people's toes.
