One thing to keep in mind about the law (at least in the U.S.)...
Nothing is black and white. Nothing. It seems like it should be, but it ain't.
That's why dumbass grannies can sue fast food joints after spilling coffee on themselves, burglars can sue homeowners after tripping over coffee tables in the homes they've broken into and ex-wives can still clean you out despite having a tight prenup.
Unless there's clear precedent, you can get fucked regardless what you think the law implies.
So, you may think you won't be liable if you don't host or you may think only YouTube would be responsible, but you never know how it'll come down.
That's why I only consider the potential costs and benefits of the action, not simply the legality or morality. Frankly, if I knew it'd never come back to me or my family, I'd run guns to the Saudis.
