You Tube is making money on the videos. Advertisers pay them for for each hit, or viewing.

god damn lawyers.....it's like when FOX went around sending fans threats to sue them if they didn't close websites that had videos on them GRRRRRR

side note: u CAN download the youtube vids

Don't blame the lawyers...blame the people that pay the lawyers. Lawyers are just hired guns...they work for their clients. Napster had lawyers too.

Hey guys....

eta: if anyone on the apple end of things uses ffmpeg (http://homepage.mac.com/major4/) to convert, make sure you encode to mp4/mpeg and under audio, check 'invert mapping' -- apparently the audio track comes before the video in .flv and quicktime doesn't like that, but once you merge the two(?) it works out nicely.
