YouTube’s Rules for Video

From the New York Times:

"Q&A: YouTube’s Rules for Video
 
Q.
Is it possible to download videos from YouTube?
 
A.
Several browser plug-ins and utility programs around the Web do let you grab copies of your favorite clips and stash them away on your hard drive. But even though the site hosts many clips showing how to download YouTube videos, the official YouTube FAQ states that doing so is against the site’s terms of service agreement and is a violation of the video-owner’s copyright.

Some video pages found on YouTube may have an official button to download a copy of the clip from the site. In that case, YouTube does allow you to take a copy for yourself."
