Take a gander at this website

I found this website:

www.2luo.com

I don't remember *how* I found it, but believe me, it's a complete carbon-copy of Youtube. It's a complete copy of all pictures, videos, channels, comments you-name-it. So complete, it even copies my Youtube channel EXACTLY down to the videos and mis-spellings.

Can anyone shed some light what this is? I think it's purpose is to go around website blockers (heh, heh, now I can sneak a video or two at school!) but I think it can also "sap" your passwords so I'm not risking it.

EDIT: I checked it out, but Firefox says it's web forgery. I checked every channel I know and I compared it, but I can't spot the difference. So I exited the site. What do you say?

Yes, Google is correct, it is web forgery.
No, the website is not dangerous.

Someone registered a domain and set it up with YouTube's DNS settings.
Currently, the website is safe. Google says that it is web forgery because it is just that, web forgery. The domain isn't controlled by Google or YouTube, it belongs to some random person. They can easily edit it to take you somewhere else, a phisher perhaps.

It doesn't look like the domain owner has any intention of stealing accounts, but you never know. If you must log in, ping YouTube and go to the IP, posts comments, read PMs etc.
