I don't believe that is a true statement.schan1269 said:It is ALWAYS illegal to have something in your possession you didn't buy.
It was illegal back in the days of copying CD to Cassette...just as it is downloading and burning to a DVD.
By THAT definition, anyone who is reading a book that they borrowed from the library (or watching a video that they rented from a store) is committing an "illegal" act, since they have in their "possession" something that they did not buy.schan1269 said:It is ALWAYS illegal to have something in your possession you didn't buy.
I don't know. I have better things to do with my time than scouring YouTube or USENET for bits and pieces of movies that I can get on DVD. I hope the poster does, too.schan1269 said:.
I assume he means copying movies that are there in bit parts...then splicing them together...
Not making yesterdays "Hey y'all watch this" a part of his personal collection...
There have been various programs to download YouTube videos to local storage. Here's a recent article about it:Originally Posted by Jackerry /t/324574/can-i-download-videos-from-youtube-and-convert-them-to-dvds-for-collection#post_3990684
How to convert youtube videos to DVDs with Windows Movie Maker, and is it legal? I just do it for personal collection.
That's assuming those videos will be there when you go back. Half the articles on Cracked.com with a YouTube video link have down links in them.My estimation is you're better off adding favorite videos to you YouTube fav's list and rewatching them online as you want. I think you'll drive yourself crazy trying to keep up with and manage a local collection of YouTube videos.
