Downloading Youtube Videos Without Hassle!

The question of whether videos online from sites like www.youtube.com, etc can/should be legally downloaded or not is still a very debatable issue.

Besides that point, I have noticed that the "downloading itself" has become more difficult than just a few months ago. If you go don't know what I am talking about, there are softwares available out there that help you "download the videos from websites like youtube, etc, DIRECTLY to your hard drive". Apparently there have been many versions of "Youtube downloaders, etc".

Here's how you can find out about the process a little.

The problem is that, out of all the many softwars there are out there for downloading videos from online, they all seem to stop working after a while. Apparently they are not "free" anymore. They ask you to pay after a couple of downloads, or even without asking to pay, the software just stops working without any reason! Makes you think of capitalism or corrupted software? Does anyone know why this is happening; because they were said to be free first.

Anyways, for the benefit of everyone, I've even come across a website that lets you use the site itself to download online videos directly to your hard-drive. This seems to work and is more convenient perhaps for many people because you don't have to bother having a softwared downloaded first that will be used for the "online video downloading". Enjoy!

Priyom.

I wonder if this will affect the lawsuits against YouTube. I think YouTube's whole defense was that even you can view videos on YouTube, you can't download them. This is pretty cool, though; I had no idea there was softward that allowed people to do this.
