No One Can Download Youtube Vids Anymore.

In case you haven't noticed....

All Youtube download apps have stopped working.  Even Zamzar cannot do it anymore.  :(  This is the message:

Apparently google wants yo' green, so they have restructured their streaming process so that any files downloaded are zero k in size.

But if I know the internet and demand, someone will come up with something..... but it will be in violation of Google's end user agreement.  So you may just be better off paying for it.

If Google would give each downloaded video a price tag that was hella-affordable, I could see myself getting on board with the payment option.  Like, 10 cents per download, or even $.99 would still be affordable, since my need for videos stored locally on my hard drive is slim to never.

Need your music fix?  Use Spotify.  Videos can still be viewed online.... so for me, it is not a big deal yet.  With all the free offerings Google still supplies the general public, this is not the end of the world.  If google were to take away other offerings, I might start getting nervous....

It may be a bit dry, but it does have some valid points.  May use this to show students at beginning of the year, or to review.
