I'd advise people to carefully read the terms and conditions of any site they use for this purpose. For instance, YouTube's is quite "interesting"...under "6. Your User Submissions and Conduct":
"C. For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting User Submissions to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the YouTube Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels."

If you're comfortable with granting YouTube a right to do whatever they want with your content, then fine...just beware if you plan on using it to upload, say, student work as a showcase or similar.
