The YouTube link in the article is to an uploader pretending to be the CCC. Some of these uploaders even participate in the YouTube advertisement programme, profiting off other people's work, when there is an official ad-free YouTube account as well (media.ccc.de, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JCUrG7ERIE)

See https://events.ccc.de/2015/01/03/the-youtube-and-stream-dump... for a detailed explanation of the problem.
