The pastes that we receive complaints about are publicly viewable and searchable by anyone. The increase in these kinds of pastes is also publicly observable.

If a YouTube employee said that some naughty YouTube users post copyrighted videos, it wouldn't be private information or libellous as such videos are publicly viewable.

I'll edit to clarify that the overwhelming number of Pastie users are "using it for good" as Josh politely requests on the site.
