Isn't the biggest advantage to having a copy of the file the assurance that it won't be pulled/deleted? Either by YouTube or the clip creator. I've also encountered instructors who worry that their lecture plans will go awry if their internet connection is borked and use this as a reason to break the Terms of Service.

Legal aspects aside, there really is no advantage to having a copy of the file within Blackboard in any case, since you have the ability to embed the YouTube player window within Blackboard. Having it housed locally would mean first that it would take up space and it would have to come from a server at your local institution, which could do it no more quickly or reliably than getting it from the YouTube server.
