I've seen that happening a LOT of places just recently. Youtube must have just started something.

From the wording of the message, it sounds like the person that posted the video can disable embedding. But from a strictly youtube-perspective, it's to their advantage (google's) to get you to go to their page to view it because then you get hit with all the other related videos, they can collect metrics, and do some ads. So it may be something that is now default-disable unless the content provider specifically marks the video as embeddable?
