Related: the running battle the original Mentos/Diet Coke Geyser video creators have had trying to keep bootleg copies of their video off YouTube. They published it on Revver which shares ad revenues with publishers and the unauthorized copies on YouTube have cost them an estimated $30,000 in lost revenue.

That's an irritating, but very good point about the YouTube terms & conditions giving them complete ownership. So it just comes down to branding the video to the extent that either they don't want to use it for anything because it is so branded, or it will be virtually impossible for the video to be "rebranded" to sell SUVs, or if it is rebranded, the original branding still shines through.
