    There's a lot of bad legal advice going on.

    Wikipedia does not have a lock on fair use.

    Blogs for commentary and even parodies are fair game for just about anything.

    But the question was not on blogs, it was for a site. Again, if an embed code
    is available, you can share it.

    Many, many blogs are commercial in nature. Mine are. And I use youtube videos all
    the time.

    If a movie company does not want their trailers and excerpts shared, they will not
    have an embed code.

    And that's really what I am talking about using trailers and excerpts from youtube or
    other sources that supply an embed code.

    Notice this on youtubes's TOS:

    Looks like an adsense site is fair game.
    You can have ads on the site.

    I thought about doing trailers, but in the end i went with full length streaming movies and tv episodes.

    The best thing is that it is all legal as i obtained a limited license to stream. Besides Users would rather watch movies, then watch movie trailers. I dunno if this helps you, but here is how to set it up, and do it legally:
