657479 2008-04-09 23:44:00 Hi, is it possible to save video that you view on You Tube to your computer HD? I use both Firefox and Int. Explorer on XP (if that is of any help). If this is possible, can someone please explain how I do this (in meat-head language coz I'm a bit thick when it comes to computers)? Cheers... Aporosa (5671)

And since this material is copyright to U-tube its not legal to do so anyway.

657481 2008-04-10 02:18:00 What happened to the forum rules about info to download copyright information? DeSade (984)
657482 2008-04-10 02:24:00 This question has been asked and answered before.

Theres probably 4+ posts here already with ways to download videos from the Youtube site.

And videos from Youtube arent movies. Theyre from other people

If other people dont like or want you downloading their videos, they shouldnt upload them in the 1st place

And why would Youtube own them?? Its just a site so people can upload their videos. They (Youtube) dont actually own the videos

I'm not an expert on copyright law, but wouldnt they have to separately apply
for a copyright on each video. Can they copyright someones elses property, ie
someone elses vid. Would the US copyright be valid in NZ?? If a vid is 'public
domain' then they cant copyright it, so they would have to check each vid for this??
???

Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you are authorized to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations. Read our Copyright Tips for more information.

There's also a section where people can protest that their copyright has been infringed upon, requesting the removal of a video.

657486 2008-04-10 03:28:00 But UTube also have intellectual property rights on their own site, they do not provide the download as a function and do not want people doing it. DeSade (984)
657487 2008-04-10 03:42:00 From youtube's Terms of Service:


C. You agree not to access User Submissions or YouTube Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself, the YouTube Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate.

E. You agree to not engage in the use, copying, or distribution of any of the Content other than expressly permitted herein, including any use, copying, or distribution of User Submissions of third parties obtained through the Website for any commercial purposes.

F. You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the YouTube Website or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content or enforce limitations on use of the YouTube Website or the Content therein.

it looks fairly clear that although there are ways of downloading youtube video's onto your HD, it could be considered illegal to do so.

Thread cleaned up to remove links to said download helpers.
