Does grayjay rehost content from YouTube or are they using the YouTube backend for streaming video? I would be quite annoyed if anyone used my website as a host for content that's being consumed on another website.

A few years ago (and to a lesser degree nowadays) you occasionally came across images which wouldn't work if you "hotlinked" to them on another website. Images aren't a huge deal anymore but video absolutely is.

They don't host anything, they're just an alternate front-end that lets you download stuff.
