Megaupload shut down

Also, everything is downloadable, with the right URL.

But Youtube doesn't provide the download services. If users choose to pirate the content it's not using Youtube's service as intended.

Copyrights. bleh. A lot of copyright holders turn a blind eye to these since in a lot of cases such public infringements actually increase public awareness.

E.G. Minecraft is Copyrighted, but there's 2134313453452 user-recorded videos on Youtube, and Mohjang is totally aware of this (that's how they got freakin rich)

Pretty much, as long as your not banking on it (as MegaUpload was) you're in the grey, very light grey, area of the law.
