Question +Rep

[L0st-Angel]

I have a question:

Using the Utube converter here (http://www.listentoyoutube.com/) you can get the audio of any video you like and then download it so you have the song on your computer.
Is it legal downloading it from there?

+Rep to answers,

Thread moved by Shar (Forum Moderator) from "Discuss Anything" as its better suited here.

There is absolutely nothing illegal about downloading material off of youtube. The problem is uploading copyright material to youtube..
the actual downloader is just to get stuff off youtube..assuming what is on there is okay to download (legal stuff).
People ignore the rules and upload illegal stuff to youtube but that doesn't mean that you can get in trouble for downloading that same stuff.. :)

I disagree. You're not allowed to download material that you know to be copyright.....

Your not supposed to but most people do it anyway without thinking. If you want to do it then it's simply your choice but don't publicise you do it. xD

It's actually breaking copyright law as your not paying for the music.

Although I wouldn't worry too much about doing it.

Yep it's the same as downloading of something like limewire it's just a lot safer (And possible haha :P)

Nobody's going to do anything about it though it's not really tracked so nobody's going to be sending you moody letters with fines or anything :P
