I always as a rule put myself in the shoes of a community member rather than Legal because I understand the community requirements better than the legal requirements. My interest in the legal details are only because they help the community. I can't pretend to be a lawyer but I would have thought a deliberately malicious alteration would have other legal resources compared to simply denying the freedom to remix the video. It is not just translations. What If I want to take a few minutes of the clip and weave it into a different story? What about a different local language voice over? I am sure you can understand why allowing this creative freedom to flourish by providing the source material under a liberal license is useful. > It's tough to do, but we're getting closer.

One more thing to consider: We have been doing Flash streaming and using for downloads. Now that Firefox (Epiphany, Opera, Chrome as well) has built-in Ogg support, I think we can stream Ogg Theora videos directly using simple flash fallbacks for browsers that don't support it.
