Should not creators already have local copies of videos they upload to YouTube?

They should. And if they don't it is clear the video have no future value for them. So why should it have for anyone else?

I know plenty of people who say, "Well, it's on YouTube, it's not gonna shut down any time soon" so they delete their local copies, unfortunately
