The demand for YouTube-MP3.org to bring about a cessation of its service is therefore unfounded,” Solmecke writes.

Guys… Google is in this to make money, if you take a video and store its mp3 locally, google makes no money from the follow up plays. Also, this was just to easy, none of you should be surprised that it got taken down. Like a song on Youtube? Youtube-mp3 it, no purchase necessary.

I’ve the impression that Youtube is paying for music companies (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/6128362/YouTube-music-industry-video-deal-is-a-landmark-deal.html). If so, why would they allow other companies to make money with their services without getting paid (ad revenue)?

I use this tool but not even for piracy. I use it to create podcasts from videos so I can listen to them on my mp3 player.

What’s wrong with google?? For a while it seemed they were on our side!
They did help us fight against SOPA/PIPA/ACTA.
Maybe in the end it’s just another fat corporation like all the others and just helped us fight because they knew it would get them publicity…

If Google just simply provided the mp3 version, nobody would bother going to these sites. I guess that would reduce hits. They would rather pay lawyers to settle it.

That’s when you know Google will eventually fall, just like the rest of them that are going down this path. You can’t win against the numbers. The solution is to come up with something better. Just like how Google started. I guess all the new guys there are just the yes men now.

If you don’t want to share your content – don’t put it on the Internet.

I did read the lawyers report. (Sorry “Guest”, I don’t have the reply button on your last post.)
It just states that it’s not a copyright issue (point taken, if you read me), and that ToS don’t apply to the YT-MP3 company, which I disagree. They might have found a technical and/or legal loophole, but they do access YT content.

As I stated before, I don’t ‘know’ how they do it, though I ‘guess’ they just play the file on their system, rip the soundstream and makes it available for download. This, in my view, allows them to ignore the API ToS, not the normal ToS. That YT made it easy for users by not requiring them to read and agree to them each and every time they connect to the site doesn’t make it right to just ignore them.
(Plus, making a soundrip independantly available for download ‘could’ be a breach of copyright, though I agree I don’t know enough of copyright laws to conclude with any certainty.)

Lastly, I find it morally wrong to act this way. That’s a purely legalist standpoint that’s an abuse of legal loopholes, which I can’t agree to.
