    I'm not no legal expert but i'm pretty sure it's illegal and infringes on some sort of copyright laws.

    Don't think it's a good idea asking for legal advice in a IM forum...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    Yes it is illegal.

    Most videos on youtube are copyrighted - at least all the music tracks etc are.

    It's fine as long as you use them FOR YOURSELF and dont publish/list/sell them to others. Falls under the same laws as a VCR or DVR. I use Download YouTube Videos and Convert YouTube to MP3 myself - it's free and downloads youtube videos just fine for me.

    Again, just dont SELL them or SHARE them - and you'll be fine.

    I would imagine it is but there are probably some 'clever' ways of getting around an issue like this. You could create a program that allows people to download videos from their own site that just happens to also let them do it from Youtube as well.
