Never really found myself worried about how all the behind the scenes of YouTube worked but I did find a great post on how YouTube counts your video views by Atlanta Analytics.

Under United States law, typeface designs are not subject to copyright. However, novel and non-obvious typeface designs are subject to protection by design patents.
