How can YouTube say that they do not allow downloading of their videos. There are numerous sites, applications, & browser plugins that already allow people to download video files from various sites like YouTube, Google Video, MetaCafe etc.
I am just curious as to how these people found the logic to get the path of the FLV file on these sites.
So I would suggest, put it up there & let people enjoy.

i think you should not publish richTube. I know its a great tool (i’ve seen it live) and you spend a lot of time and power in it but i think you risk to much.

Ah, you tempt us…

I say release it and worry about legality or not later

Looks a slick app and your richFLV is awesome.

What about the VideoDownloader plugin for Firefox? You can save YouTube videos with it and they are still up.
