The spoiling going on in this homemade video clip is a type that I think completely crosses the line. While the clip-makers call it a "prank" and although it isn't actually happening on the internet, I think it brings up an important point of spoiling information for people that do not want to see it. I think the sites and blogs dedicated to spoiling are fine, because it is only the people who WANT to see/know and collaborate to ruin their own endings. When it is forced on public that does not want to see it, it is truly unfair and wrong. As I think people have the right to express themselves however they want, I also think people have the right to decide when and what they want to see.
Seeing something like this also makes me understand why some people in the Survivor's spoiler camp were upset that one blogger came in with so much information that he basically ruined their "game". For a lot of them knowing everything wasn't really worth it, unless they could be part of figuring it out.

I agree that spoilers should be a "at your own risk" type of thing. If you want to see it then have fun, but to force it on people to see things they don't want to is just plain mean.
