[cc-community] The big problem with the Spoon video and CC

What it really comes down to is that it's a shame that YouTube doesn't
respect CC license metadata, like how Blip.tv does and Flickr does.

There are a countless examples of artists/creators making videos that they
want CC licensed, but have to include the license data inside the "Info" box
on YouTube. As everyone at CC must feel, this is less than ideal.

For now I suppose we're obligated to add "This video is licensed ... etc...
license link, etc." to the info box. It'd be really slick if we could have
YT auto-embed a CC license frame into the end of our videos...
