I've seen a few reprints on Nico Nico as well, which is surprising, considering Dwango's strict copyright policies.

If a producer explicitly states they don't want their work reprinted, then I think their wish should be respected. However, I don't doubt that somebody would have the guts to reprint the video anyway... :P With that said, Nico does not have a purely Japanese audience, nor does YouTube cater solely to westerners. Especially the latter.
