Using the YouTube APIs, can I "hack" my own account?

I don't want to do anything malicious here. I'm re-uploading some of my old YouTube videos in higher quality, and I do not want to lose certain stats from the old videos.

 

I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer ratings, views, and/or comments from the old videos to the new videos, using either the Zend Gdata library or a modded version of it. Is that possible?

It seems to me that Google is opening itself up here for people to potentially screw around with its databases...

highly doubt google would give you database access to mess with their database maybe yours alone which could be fine. I've glanced at that site for a few seconds all i seen it gives you the power to upload videoes? lol i believe you always had that power just a new wrapper
