I still think this is a valid thing to do. We barely have any match footage from 2004 save some matches at Championship and a few others here and there on YouTube. No I don't think YouTube accounts are just going to go away, but stranger things have happened and it never hurts to have a copy as a backup.
But I think the appropriate way to handle it would have been to ask if you could archive their content first, not just going ahead & doing it. Always get permission when it comes to re-using & re-hosting someone elses video content. If you didn't capture it & edit it yourself, you need to ask.
