Youtube (owned by google) generates a short url. Put the short url into the android marketplace (owned by google) 'add video' section - Error Message ''This is not a valid Youtube url''! ok, Shorten the youtube url with the goog.le url shortener (owned by google) and put THAT in the android marketplace (owned by google) - Error Message ''This is not a valid Youtube url''!
