[Year 12 IT Apps] Food for thought!

[Davies, Brett]

FOR THE SENSITIVE AMONGST YOU:

THIS MESSAGE IS "TONGUE IN CHEEK" WRITTEN TO PROMOTE HEALTHY DISCUSSION. NAMES HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT AND THE GUILTY



I find it very interesting that we are all so quick to assist with Ms X's request for help with you tube capture. It is clearly stated on You Tube's site that this is prohibited and in fact you tube have already begun suing even promoters of any software which downloads any content from their site. According to their policy it is OK to stream the movie but NOT OK to download:



There have been those who have been screamed down by the righteous for stepping ON or OVER the line of copyright infringement in the past (including myself) but where are these evangelists now? They are nowhere to be found and in fact can even be seen assisting this blatant "line dancing"!



Is it because we know that much of You Tubes content is already illegal as far as copyright goes, so we are accepting that 2 wrongs make a right!

Is it because You Tube have lots of money?

There is another reason I can think of but it's way to un-PC to speak off!





Having said that the best way to do it is with the Free Real Player....this can download anything!



Have a nice day!
