Useful information if I ever need it.  Thanks.

FWIW I wasn't particularly happy about Google's merging of services 
meaning I was automatically logged in to Youtube.  At the beginning of 
2010 curiosity got the better of me and I copied Youtube's EULA from the 
tiny letter box window it expected me to scroll through.  When pasted 
into Word, that was 18 pages of A4...

... which would have nicely filled 2 flip charts.  I slightly regret not 
printing it out and taking a photo of those 2 flip chart stands :-)
