    As long as it is not copyrighted material and you only use it for personal use (can’t sell it) then it isn’t “illegal”. But, it might violate the terms and conditions of yahoo and google inc.(because google now owns it), but they won’t take action, they really don’t care besides that fact that you don’t get to click on their text-ads.

    No its not illegal and i would download the videos you like soon because sometimes when you go back to see them their gone. You also need some special player that will convert the video for you to watch it on your computer.

    Technically you are downloading videos off Youtube and its FLV file is stored in the internet temp folder.

    No, it’s not illegal to save videos to your computer for personal purposes. However, it’s illegal to sell or publish these videos as your own work…
