Gruupi Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have recently become addicted to that website. So many great live performances that I didn't know anyone would be able to let me see. My question is how long before they get sued out of existance? They are basicly like the Napster of video. I imagine almost all the musical performances are copywrited or bootlegged, so how can these legally be broadcast? YouTube is enabling all this stuff to be distributed, even though I don't think you can save the material, there should be some royalties do to the artists/ publishers. Whats everyone elses take on this? For my part, I am watching as much as I can while its up, as I am seeing some artists I never got to see live and plenty of great performances which I think will go away shortly as soon as some smart lawyer or corporation goes after them.

Ricardo. Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've been experimenting with saving some of them via a Firefox plugin. I don't know what to do if it becomes illegal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rw2003 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 You Tube is great. You should also check out GOOGLE Video http://video.google.com/ I guess the big difference is that the video files are "streamed" instead of merely copied to your hard disk. But I agree, sooner or later the folks that own the content will start complaining that its being distributed for free. Let's enjoy it while it lasts!

ekoldr Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I looove You tube, I'm not sure about the lagality issue bacause someone has to either own or have pirated the video to put it on there. So basically you tubes about as legal as pirating haha We'll se until then I'll just enjoy the Movie traiters and people hurting themselves.

Ricardo. Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Spiral Light: I use VideoDownloader. You can do a search for it off of firefoxextensions. You still need a special player for the type of encoding YouTube files use but you can save and watch off the old hard drive with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to do if it becomes illegal though Star, I got the extension but when I hit the Save As deal all I got was code. This is on a Mac. Any idea how to capture the actual video file?

Ricardo. Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Fumblyfingers: sometimes you have to add the extension of the file yourself. I believe they are .flv files; so once you do that, and you get the .flv player, you're set It's not really the greatest system, but it works in the end. I think there might be better extensions for it, but I haven't tried many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a newborn in the house which is making stuff a little more challenging right now.....uuh for the next 2 years or so. It's all good though. I am tired a lot. ADD I guess.
