An implicit copyright assignment is really heavy.
Sorry, here i should make a clarification, the author/user always retain the ownership of his work, but allows YouTube to sublicense the work
The related part of their therm of use (chapt 5. User submission) ...For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting the User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successor's) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the YouTube Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels....
Thsi seams to be no problem for free content and I think YouTube has to ask this rights to be able to use the content on the site.
If I get it right, the user grands all freedoms to YouTube. If he uses a free content license he would grant the freedoms to everyone not just to YouTube.
Where is the problem?
