How to embed a Youtube video that has copyrighted content in it.

For example when you try playing this video(http://www.youtube.com/embed/ADBKdSCbmiM) in a UIWebView it says

 This Video Contains content from Vevo. It is restricted from playback on certain sites

How would I go about getting videos like this to play in an embedded player or a custom player that I would make using MPMoviePlayer or such. I know this is possible as following app does this. (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audioviz-view-your-songs-on/id547001249?mt=8)

Edit
Few videos play in browser but in iOS Simulator its showing 

This video contains content from SME . It is restricted from playback on certain site

Thanks for all the help!

    To play the youtube video using uiwebview:

    1. First check if your youtube URL is played or not in browser. If the video doesn’t play in the browser it won’t play in the device either

    2. You only check in the device; the video doesn’t play in simulator

      - (void) displayGoogleVideo

    {

    CGRect rect = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];

    CGSize screenSize = rect.size;

    UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,screenSize.width,screenSize.height)];

    webView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;

    webView.autoresizingMask=(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth);

    NSString *videoUrl = @"http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0"; // valid youtube url


    NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><meta name = \"viewport\" content = \"initial-scale = 1.0, user-scalable = no, width = 212\"/></head><body style=\"background:#F00;margin-top:0px;margin-left:0px\"><div><object width=\"320\" height=\"480\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"%@\"></param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param><embed src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\"></embed></object></div></body></html>",videoUrl,videoUrl]    ;



    [webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com"]];


    [window addSubview:webView];

    [webView release]; 

}
