It has recently came to our attention that some people have had some complaints and misunderstandings related to the YouTube features of FTV. To clear everything up here are a few explanations.
These quotes are taken from the term of use you sent me http://www.youtube.com/t/terms
QUOTE (YouTube Terms of use Section 5. User Submissions)

QUOTE (YouTube Terms of use Section 5. User Submissions)
In addition, YouTube provides an "Embeddable Player" feature, which you may incorporate into your own personal, non-commercial websites for use in accessing the materials on the Website, provided that you include a prominent link back to the YouTube website on the pages containing the Embeddable Player. YouTube reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the YouTube Website at any time.
In short, we are granted a non-exclusive license to access, to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform the videos viewable through YouTube's Embedded Player on Fansub TV's Video Tube in accordance to YouTube's terms and conditions and agreements.
All that FTV is doing is display embedded YouTube videos in accordances to YouTube's terms of use as outlined here and we added an indexing and search functionalities in order to display videos in an "intelligent" manner.
The technique used to display the videos are outlined here (this can be found in the "YouTube Help center".)
