People just meant that Google owns Youtube and Google is a big search engine company and I doubt they would own and run an illegal service. Youtube isn't illegal at all, it's just what people sometimes put up on Youtube such as full length movies like Star Wars or brand new movies.

YouTube (and Google) has been under pressure for copyrighted content and this includes lawsuits. See the section titled 'Commercial Content Is Copyrighted' where it states:
The most common reason we take down videos for copyright infringement is that they are direct copies of copyrighted content and the owners of the copyrighted content have alerted us that their content is being used without their permission. Once we become aware of an unauthorized use, we will remove the video promptly. That is the law.
Some examples of copyrighted content (although not all) are:
TV shows
Including sitcoms, sports broadcasts, news broadcasts, comedy shows, cartoons, dramas, etc.
Includes network and cable TV, pay-per-view and on-demand TV
Music videos, such as the ones you might find on music video channels
Videos of live concerts, even if you captured the video yourself
Even if you took the video yourself, the performer controls the right to use his/her image in a video, the songwriter owns the rights to the song being performed, and sometimes the venue prohibits filming without permission, so this video is likely to infringe somebody else's rights.
Movies and movie trailers
Commercials
Slide shows that include photos or images owned by somebody else
