I don't ever remember a time this was allowed legally.
I do, but I can’t prove it. Okay. I’ll accept that I was wrong. I don’t do it often, but I don’t need trouble so I’ll follow the rules from here on out.
That's weird the link doesn't work. You can also copy/paste the link. It's just the YouTube terms of service.
I don't believe the current terms are new. To me, it makes sense that YouTube doesn't allow people to make copies of (download) somebody else's content. That seems fairly standard.
I forgot to mention that I clicked it on an iPad and it went straight to the YouTube app. No terms of service. I found that myself. Thanks for the effort though.

LOL You're allowed to talk.
If I upload something to Youtube, it is mine. You shouldn't be allowed to download it without my permission. Likewise many media companies post stuff to YouTube... this is also there's and not for public download.
I would bet a weeks pay it has been this way since YouTube was bought by Google. Google is very wary of being sued because I downloaded your content and then used it some way that was either illegal or made it look like mine.
Unfortunately, they just focus on going after the little guys who use those sites... and not the sites themselves.
Yup exactly! Which is why now that I know they don't allow it, I won't try to do it. The potential trouble is not worth the videos. LOL They just threw me off when they said with premium you can download them so I thought that meant we were allowed. But now that I know we're not allowed, I won't do it. Not worth it.
LOL! Technology is getting so smart now, they can find out what you're doing. They even know who you are without you even going online yourself if your friends have Facebook. Hahaha! Who knows what technology they have now, that we won't know exists till 30 years from now. LOL

No, if you upload anything to the internet it's in the public domain forever. There is nothing YouTube or anybody can to to stop your video from being copied and even reuploaded for internaty. If you want to keep something for yourself, don't put it on the internet.

I only ever downloaded anything to watch it later myself. I don’t use it for anything. It’s no different than downloading in the YouTube app to watch later offline (if it works). That said, I’m not betting. *I acknowledge that you could be right. I thought it was legal once upon a time, but i can’t prove it. So…

Where did you come up with that? YouTube may be an exception as far as enforcement, but in other illegal downloading situations, ISPs may even block your service if they find that you have repeatedly broken copyright laws.

1. No ISP will block your service for violating copyright laws. That would not be good business. 2. There is no way for them to know what you are downloading. They can know you are downloading something and where you are downloading it from, but that is it.
You could screen record a YouTube video and nobody but you would know, unless you tell somebody or they are with you watching you record it.
If you put something online, it's there for anybody to do whatever they want with. Stupid TOSs that prohibit downloading are just put there to give people who are uploading videos a false sense of security.
