I hate youtube!!!

lol u sound like u like to steal money from people :P. downloading music for free (where people SHOULD pay for it) is not the same as stealing money from other people but it is still not right. everyone does it does not make the it right either. i can understand youtube being against video/audio grabber sites. youtube.com is a big corporate body after all. and being big, they are a target for other companies or individuals for a lawsuit. if youtube did not do anything to prevent illegal activities, people can sue them and there might not be any youtube anymore and that isnt good either

I think YouTube has every right to ban and suspend whoever and whatever they think is threatening the integrity of their company. The reason they ban users who upload copyrighted material is because they have been previously sued by the copyright holders. You say they should just give a warning, but a large portion of YouTube users don't take warnings seriously. They don't even take banning seriously enough. They create new accounts and upload the material all over again. You can't claim ignorance of copyright either. ANYTHING, be it a piece of writing, a piece of music, or a film clip is automatically protected by law as soon as it is fixed in a tangible format. No big-company license or government document required. So if you upload something that includes content you did not create and do not have permission to use, you violate copyright law. I think it's pretty simple. You say, "c'mon it's just a gif", but please. Come on, it's just their company. It's their game, and their rules. YouTube is not obligated to allow you to download music videos or save gif files from their videos. That's not what they're for. They're there so that average citizens, filmakers, animators, musicians, and vloggers can have fun sharing content that they've created. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.

If you give me a link i'll try to download the video or whatever you need. I hate youtube two because of the banning of so called copyrighted items. I had a video vith 30k views that had music in it(like every normal video does) and they disabled music for it. The way how big firms treat small people is just disgusting. There will never be a fair system. Anyway give me the link and i'll try for a fellow thinker.

LOL ! You seem to be really Pissed about YouTube! Well, I think you have been in al wrong places to download YouTube files. To download them, why not install IDM [Internet Download Manager] in which Download Video pops up whenever I am seeing a video in Mozilla Firefox or IE. Also, you can give a try to YouTube Downloader - www.youtubedownload.altervista.org

Yes it sucks but i use IDM video grab or YouTube

I understand you are feeling that way.....well as for me, I never had such experience. I am able to get and download what I want from youtube but surely I will feel the same if that happens to me. If I could be of any further help please feel free to ask me.

I use idesktoptv to convert videos for my needs. But, you have to pay for unlimited use. But, there is a free version that imposes a daily limit. But, if there is a problem as far as viewing a video goes, youtube is trying to avoid a possible law suit. They've been sued once so avoiding the court room is in their best interest.

LOL ! Quiet keynah2, quiet ! If you are using Firefox, there is a cool and great script for Greasemonkey (a Firefox add-on that you must install first) : it's called YouTube Enhancer : with it you can choose the size and the quality of the video you are watching, and eventually save it in flv. Have a good YouTube day !
