I think you need to prepare for your DMCA take-down notice.

I very much doubt that Gregg Gillis will send them a takedown notice. (They are technically violating his copyright since the track is under a non-commercial/attribution Creative Commons license and they seem to violate both those terms. Gregg Gillis, however, doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would send out petty takedown notices.)

At least put the attribution in the HTML as a comment, no?

This company arbitrarily decides what copyrights to acknowledge and violate?

So I am supposed to host my video with them, but how will I know they will respect my intellectual property?

If you are a good coder, do creative commons licenses not apply? Is this the tip of the iceberg?

Help me out here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nitpicking about the shave? Seriously? He doesn't look unkempt, he looks relaxed and like he's enjoying his life.

Not nitpicking, no. He is a head of the company, and his appearance contributes to the overall company's image. Consider what your first impression of a company would be if its CEO were a pierced dude with dreadlocks. Same goes here, "relaxed" and "approachable" is nice for socializing, but in business context it might be less desirable than "reliable" and "organized". I will take back the unkempt , but I would still…

I'd actually feel more comfortable calling these guys on the phone or having a sitdown business lunch with one of them after watching this video. Too many business folks take themselves too seriously.

And Chris looks like he's shaved as close as he can. Didn't come off to me as a five o'clock shadow at all.
