Overview

Day in day out, millions of video are being uploaded to YouTube by various people that owns channels on YouTube aka the video content creators. Most people including me, whenever we are feeling lonely or less busy and need something to watch as movie just to keep the day going, our goto place that first occur in our mind is YouTube. Yes, YouTube has made a big name all over the world that even little children that create video content or infographics would like to upload it on YouTube for three purposes; 1. To teach or pass message to others 2. To have followers 3. And to earn for a living Most people used YouTube as a means to showcase their talent, inspire others in a particular field, introduce innovation and even pray for their followers. Churches for Instance used YouTube as a means to broadcast sundays and weekly activities services to their Church members and others that believed on the grace. Comedians upload their video clips to YouTube for their YouTube subscribers to watch, like and share. Through this means, they are also gaining popularity mostly when their videos are becoming interesting. YouTube has many features such as notifications, splitting and encrypting downloaded videos so that they can be shared through Bluetooth, Xender and any other files sharing apps EXCEPT the ones provided by YouTube. So this makes it become boredom and annoying mostly when you want to download your favorite videos to your phone gallery so that you can watch it whenever you like using any media player without having to turn on your data and go-to YouTube. I know you will say, but YouTube has offline video watching feature so what the heck am I saying. No doubt, you are right! But have you experienced the case of opening your YouTube only for you to see that the downloaded videos are corrupt or no where to be found? Or have you tried to change your YouTube email and see that all videos downloaded by you are no where to be found? Now you understand what I mean right? And the most annoying part about YouTube offline videos is that they still consume our space. So why should it not allow us to download and video save to our local disk rather than encrypting them? Well, at first I was really angry but later reconsider it that every labourer deserve his or her wages. YouTube is one of Google's sources of income. And if they allow us to download video directly to our local disk, maybe over a week we will never remember to go back. But most times you really want to download this video to your local disk so that you can watch it anytime you like. However, when the thought of downloading YouTube videos comes up, there is a side subject that must be considered: Is it really legal? As long as you're downloading the video for your own personal offline use, it's fine. It becomes a crime and prohibited if you consider Google's terms of service for YouTube, which reads:

Google Policy for YouTube

You are not allowed to...access, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content except: (a) as expressly authorized by the Service; or (b) with prior written permission from YouTube and, if applicable, the respective rights holders. While did Google published this law? Well it is obvious. Watching YouTube videos offline through unofficial channels takes money from Google and video creators. Why, because their adverts campaign will no longer sell and most people including Google make money from these adverts. So, obviously, downloading videos from YouTube is considered stealing video and totally not acceptable. If you want to share a video, YouTube and most other video sites make it easy, from embedding to emailing to sharing via social networks. You simply do not need to download a video most of the time. However, you have your reasons. If you must download a YouTube video absolutely just for yourself, and not for dissemination and reproduction then is fine.

How To Download YouTube Videos
