1. If you want to download a CC licensed (or any) video from YouTube, use youtube-dl.
2. As commenter #8 points out, if you care about this sort of thing, use a different platform. For example, Vimeo makes it incredibly easy to download videos.

- theli0nheart 10y ago> Downloading violates Youtube's TOS. So there's that. If downloading videos violates YouTube's TOS, but YouTube is violating the Creative Commons license by enforcing this aspect of their TOS, is this restriction enforceable?
- gingerrr 10y agoIt's certainly enforceable by banning.

- themartorana 10y agoNot to be pedantic, but any video you watch is downloaded (even when "streamed"). Having it land in a browser cache folder instead of your desktop is obfuscation at best. It's odd to me that TOS can dictate to which folder a file is downloaded.
