I have no problem with the blog owner making a few pennies from the hits.

Even though the blogweasel had nothing to do with the video?

If your buddy stole a giant TV, would you go to his house and watch it?

Anyway, now folks have an option NOT to be forced to visit a blog in order to view a stolen video.

If this bothers you, tough.

100% correct! I think the same thing applies to 99% of the content google makes money off of. It is thievery.

It's not stolen. If the original source is referenced and Politico provides the share information, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with any blogger posting it. That is why they provide that information on the video.

If that bothers you, tough.

Absolutely no problem whatsoever. If Youtube did not want to allow the embedding of their videos, they would not tell you how to embed the video to your own site.

Also, the folks that posted their video, for free, to Youtube are extremely happy that their video is viewed in as many places as it can be. Also notice that in every video that is embedded, Youtube's name and link is made available to click on and go to so you can visit Youtube's site any time you want. Everyone gets clicks. Everyone gets hits. Everyone can make a few pennies. Nobody complains.

Except you.
