Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California
If you upload videos to YouTube and allow embedding, can you legally limit the people who are allowed to embed your video?
For instance, if I created patient education videos and uploaded them to YouTube and used their service to embed the videos on my own client websites, could I legally go after other people who happened to find my videos on YouTube and embed them on their own websites?

When you upload videos into youtube, you are agreeing to youtube's terms of use agreement. It is likely that one of these terms of use is a permission that you give to youtube, to allow other youtube users the ability to embed your content using youtube embed video player. You should review Youtube's terms of use to determine the license you are granting to other users.
Goodluck,
