Yes, YouTube videos are copyrighted. When a person uploads a video to YouTube, that person "license(s) all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to such Content for publication on the Service pursuant to the Terms of Service."
In essence, Youtube becomes the copyright owner of the video. The vidoes on YouTube can still be used in some commercial situations through the doctrine of "Fair Use."
