You can specify any kind of license for content that users post directly to your site, as long as your TOS lets users know this beforehand. And YouTube has never had a problem with other sites embedding their videos. They welcome it. So the only thing you have to worry about is if users start posting potentially illegal content to your site. The internet blacklist bill would apply to your site in this case. | |

I declare in my ToS that youtube's policies that apply to their videos, also apply on my site, but I have no idea what I should do regarding written content, i'm thinking to about placing that under a creative commons license, or something like that, I just started figuring this stuff out, so I don't know much about it. | |
