Oh look whats this I see on the PC World Mag DVD, A program that does the exact same thing except on your pc.
Hmm I think PCW are trying to tell us something.

1228253 2011-09-01 23:51:00 You can use firefox add-ons and they'll do the same thing. (Let you download off youtube, in MP4 format). So shutting down sites, wont stop it. Unless they decide to sue whoever made these add-ons Speedy Gonzales (78)
1228254 2011-09-02 00:01:00 Yeah, just thought it was interesting that it is on the dvd nedkelly (9059)

It does sound like that, doesn't it? But, yes, it is for a friend. I might use it as well as I have no problem with that type of thing.

Wratterus: Thanks for your help. I will try both to see how they go.:thanks

1228259 2011-09-02 02:50:00 This (userscripts.org). Dont know why it says you need greasemonkey and / or scriptish. I dont use either. Thats probably for the script, which I'm not using Speedy Gonzales (78)

More insanity.. what is really the difference between watching (for free) a youtube video 50 times (on youtube) or downloading (for free) the same video and watching it 50 times (with VLC) ?
