Youtube Terms of service violation

[judemanutd]

Is this method completely legal or does it violate any of youtube's policies and terms of service? Especially considering the webview url contains a proxy link to youtube and not the actual link itself.

As per YouTube,

You may be aware that the YouTube Terms of Service, which are posted at http://www.youtube.com/t/terms, state "you agree not to alter or modify any part of the Service" [Section 4B] and "you may not modify, build upon, or block any portion or functionality of the Embeddable Player" [Section 4F].“you agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Service itself, the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate”

So is that a yay or nay on the violation?
