I don't understand this at all. YouTube profits off of the video service they provide for free to their users, so they're bad?

I need an emoticon indicating total bafflement.

It's about the technology being more generic. If you control the service (obviously you don't with YouTube) the host should have safe harbor. If a host controls the service, they are responsible for it's content.
