This wont last very long. Youtube is serious about enforcing the size limit on their videos. They actively contact people who do this type of thing and block their IP/API access.
They find out about it in 2 ways:
1: When a youtube employee notices it manually
2: When automated API's detects there are no ad clicks.
Also, using the napster brand is stupid. That company still exists and would be thrilled to take your domain : http://www.napster.com/ http://www.napster.com/
- tuxidomasx 14y agoHow would they do this for client-side applications? I made a desktop application that essentially streams & rips (to mp3) Youtube videos but doesn't show any of the video data at all-- never had any issue with blocking or limits. To do so would mean blocking regular browser access too (since the app behaves like a browser, even to the level of requesting other page resources). I imagine it would be difficult to tell the difference using heuristics.
