  > Circumventing the Youtube's restrictions is though. That's exactly my point: it's not. It may be bad for Youtube's business, but it's not morally wrong. We owe nothing to Google.

      > Downloading Youtube videos, except with Youtube Red, is a breach of contract. Too bad, then every single user of Youtube is violating this rule: the browser needs to download the video to play it, streaming is just the act of automatically removing the video chunk after it's played. I don't seen written anywhere that the user is forbidden to prevent the deletion of the video chunk he downloaded. Even if Youtube updated its rules to fill this loophole, I would still be allowed to do it. In France people are protected by «l'exception de copie privée» which allow them to have their own copy of video or music which their are legally allowed to see/listen.[1] That's why we are allowed to record TV broadcast. I guess there must be a similar law in the US but I'm not really aware of the regulation there. [1] sharing the video with somebody outside of your family is forbidden though.
