Exported is a sort of context neutral reuse, with an OER it is any use 
you feel like doing under the license.
I may plausibly just want the youtube page and nothing else, and then to 
get other feeds as well.

If I have something which uses a key I basically take a punt on how much 
it will be used and how techie the reusers are.

The phoning home makes sense, would make setting up a server easier as 
well (what would stop someone creating a youtube page is the key wasn't 
set up?)
