Magnify syndicates videos from multiple locations, but we don't "steal" them. Typically we use the APIs or feeds each of the hosting sites provides in order to discover and embed links to the original video source.

Our goal is to use these emerging tools and widely accepted practices to facilitate video sharing and organizing. We think that your communities add value to videos by indexing, rating, and commenting on them.

For example, instead of "scraping" YouTube's web site and copying their files, we use their publicly-documented REST API to resolve user search queries and embed their standard video player. YouTube benefits from the additional traffic, which is why they've made those tools available.
