The closest analogy is; if you park without paying, your car might get impounded.

Not a bad analogy. Getting an impounded car back is often described as being abusively expensive beyond real costs.

That would be a improvement for the OP.

Though I don't think any of the giants have an incentive to offer this since might draw more attention than just telling them to fuck off.

So you are saying uploading to YouTube without paying is illegal? Nowhere on YouTube does it say that I have to pay anything.
