The legalities of agreements that say things like "since you're here, you agreed" are likely meaningless...until a court case comes of it. At best, they can say, "that's why we banned you from the site" if Youtube is the defendant in a frivolous suit. If Youtube tried to be a plaintiff in a suit, they'd have trouble convincing a court that the agreement was binding, beyond what the law grants already (like copyright laws, for example). Ok--I'm no lawyer (I can't even get on a jury after 3 tries since I moved here--must be because I keep saying, "well he looks guilty!"--not really), that's just what my best guess is.
