There have been attempts by Youtube to stop the downloading of videos on their site. Downloading video from YouTube (owned by Google) does breach Google's/Youtube's terms of service (see below). From time to time, various downloaders will not work on Youtube, until the developer of the downloader finds a workaround (see note at the bottom of this reply to contact the developer of Video Download Helper). Right or wrong, eventually Youtube will find a way to stop users/viewers from downloading its videos altogether. Then, it will be a matter for the courts to decide whether videos posted on Youtube are, or are not, in the public domain.

The terms of service, Section 5B states, "Content is provided to you AS IS. You may access Content for your information and personal use solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Service and as permitted under these Terms of Service. [added underscore] You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content. You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content. YouTube and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to the Service and the Content." (NOTE: you can click on "Terms" at the bottom of the main youtube.com page to read for yourself.)

Previous terms of service section 5 was much more lengthy and said "YouTube hereby grants you permission to access and use the Service, subject to the following express conditions, and you agree that your failure to adhere to any of these conditions shall constitute a breach of these Terms on your part:


  • ''you agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself, the YouTube Player, or other means as YouTube may explicitly designate for this purpose.
  • "You agree not to access Content for any reason other than your personal, non-commercial use solely as intended through and permitted by the normal functionality of the Service, and [added underscore and bolding] solely for Streaming. "Streaming" means a contemporaneous digital transmission of the material by YouTube via the Internet to a user operated Internet enabled device in such a manner that the data is intended for real-time viewing and not intended to be downloaded (either permanently or temporarily), copied, stored, or redistributed by the user.
  • "You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content."
An important note on 2 items for you to consider:

  • Google/Youtube makes money from advertising on the Youtube site. The more hits they receive, the more they can charge for advertising on the Youtube site.
  • Some of those who post videos on Youtube, display advertising before displaying the video. Those individuals/companies, also depend on revenue from that advertising to support their continued production of videos. Those who post videos on Youtube essentially own the videos and all rights to their videos.
If you wish, you can contact the developer of Video Download Helper to inquire about your problem and you will be contacted via e-mail - http://www.downloadhelper.net/support-expert.php

If you're using an iPads to view youtubes, it's common to come across a message "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile.....". I'm an iPad user & not a mobile user.

If they are going to place restrictions on iPad users then I don't sympathise with the music labels.
