Actually, you can. Not only from You Tube, but from any video site.

Yeah, but you need additional software to do that. You can't do it directly from YouTube itself. You also can't download anything likely to make an impact on album sales.

Yeah, but you need additional software to do that. Nope, no additional software needed. *All* videos you see on YT are automatically downloaded to your PC without any need of additional software. Just the good ol' Internet Explorer. It's moot, though. In fact, this whole thing was very, very unnecessary-

A few interesting snippets I'm finding: From here*** And finally I found what else I was looking for! The stuff that YouTube is definitely hosting legally. They don't make it easy, mind! Obviously links to legal use of copyrighted stuff is perfectly allowable.

Well that eliminated 70% of youtube. ;D 20% is said media companies youtube hosts and the other 10% are the equivalent to episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Yeah, but a lot of the good stuff is in that 30% we can legally link to, which is the main thing

LOL!
Yeah, that'd be fine... ;D

I have a monumental headache after all this! On the bright side, though, the legal position appears to be sorted at long last!

Good. I'd hate to get hauled off for trying to share a Jessica Alba scene from Into The Blue with my Cascade Brothahs and Sistahs.
No, really.

Wouldn't float my boat, either. There's a bit of a war going on over copyright on the web. I want us to be well out of it.

I can't tell you how often I'd search for a video on youtube and it would be taken down due to a copyright claim filed by the company who ran the program....
Not that I see the danger in clips from public television....considering we've used VCRs, DVD recorders and now Tivo through the years...
I just don't get it.

Neither do I, BJC. But 'legal' and 'sensible' are not always friends...
