   How is this different from taping a television broadcast with a DVR – which is fair use? If copyright owners do not want people to download their content from YouTube then they shouldn’t post it to YouTube. Alternatively, YouTube should stream their content in a non-downloadable format.

   @ Wonderworld… I’m no lawyer, but I think the “use” in “fair use” means using the work of art in some way other than just looking at it or watching it. You can watch a show you’ve DVRed, but if you post it to YouTube then you have “used” it in some active capacity. I think?

   I dont know guys….kinda a hard call here

   I think that fair use …is fair use and that google, record companies, etc should back off! They want money for everything! Before you know it this is what they will do!
   If I download the video to my computer and then fly to South America and show it to a guy that lives deep in the jungle….they will want that guy to pay for it too! These copy right infringements have gone too far! Give me a break!

   I just love dowloading my fav tracks for my own listening pleasure

   I understand both angles. I definitely support buying music to support the artists, it’s why I use iTunes and Amazon. Problem for me comes when I can’t do that. I stumble upon a lot of songs that aren’t available for purchase, so what choice do you have for songs like that besides youtube converters?
10. By Mike Posted on November 20, 2012

    I understand why Google is doing this, but man is it inconvenient. Strangely enough, I’m actually trying to convert my OWN recorded material from Youtube for a Web Design assignment I have. Sigh…

    Thank you. I use you tube mp3 download for my personal use and find it really good. It will be disappointing if I cannot continue to do so. As I am 70 years of age my preferences tend to be with classical and the “older” artistes, many of which I can still download. Is there an alternative download method.
    Many Thanks

    I will set the record straight for you then. It is okay to copy a song off of YouTube, as long as it’s only going to be for personal use only. The fair use act that was established, specifically says that an individual is allowed one copy for personal use only. Think of it this way. When you record a TV show with your VCR, or DVR, you are then creating one copy for your use. It does not become illegal until you start distributing that show, or music for profit, or non profit use. Just the act of distribution is where it officially becomes illegal.

    Now don’t worry, you are not going to get in trouble for showing your own mother in your house hold or any thing. The music industry is not concerned about small potatoes like that. And technically a Court is going to consider people that live under the same roof as one anyways. But don’t send it to your girl friend / boy friend out side of your roof. (The copy you made, stays in your home.)

    This is why YouTube offers the URL of the video. And this is why that respectable programs like Real Player, allow single button downloads of any video on YouTube.

    Making a copy of a YouTube video, is no different than making a copy of your favorite TV show on your DVR, or VCR. As long as it’s for →YOU←!!!

    Also, just to give you extra comfort, this is why Windows Media Player on your computer is able to rip the songs off of your own Cd’s.

    PS. I am not a lawyer, or an attorney. (This is just well reserched information.) And only applies to the laws of the United States.

    Its bull converting is legal on the basis that youtube put it in public forum that means all copyright laws are null and void public forum means that its for use its like saying using a cd to move a music file to a MP3 is illegal its not or sending via bluetooth

    I dont pay to watch youtube there is no difference between me playing the video through my headphones or just the audio. You dont hear porn stars bitching about people downloading videos for free
18. By Damian Farmer Posted on June 10, 2013

    Hello I have a youtube account and I do not agree with the copyright uses that I learned about today. If the website I used is illegal I’ll delete my songs and hand over my account, but I think i’m speaking for everyone when I say that that is ridiculous. This is a free nation. If you wanna listen to music you should be able to do so, Its exactly the same do use wi-fi on a phone to listen to it. I say as long as your not reselling it you should be able to.

    Thank you, Damian

    I think it’s all a greedy money making issue. They don’t want anyone using their music to make any money for themselves. Greed is all it is.

    Well, people can use different types of audio and video records including HD recorders for recording TV shows, CD and DVD recorders .. if Google wants to ban YouTube to MP3 converter websites, then the industry should also ban all such equipment people are using to make their own copies of audio or video files.

    Thats on 2012, nowadays youtube-mp3.org still alive and keep their site update, guess why? because google change their mind about human rights to copy the copyright 🙂 …

    What I am upset about, I used to convert MY video’s from Realplayer to any file, not just mp3’s. So I would download my own vids I upload because I didn’t have the files anymore , and now, they give you the idea that you can convert, but as soon as you go through all the motions to do so, then press the big “Convert” button, an add pops up to buy it. I tried this several of times with several of different types of convert files just to see if it was limited.. then when you download realplayer, they advertise that you can convert files, I’M DONE WITH REALPLAYER!!! I don’t care what reason they don’t do it, it’s not about that, THEY ARE LIARS… And where I come from.. a liar is a liar, there’s no excuse for this………..
25. By RealPlayer Team Posted on September 2, 2013

    Sorry for the trouble, some files requires Plus feature to convert/trim. Try installing QuickTime/iTunes to enable the necessary codec for RealPlayer to play/convert .mp4 files.

    1: QuickTime : http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

    or

    2: iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

    After installing QuickTime/iTunes, try play/converting the files through RealPlayer.

    If that doesn’t help, please send an email to help@real.com, include a brief description of the issue, copy and paste the link to this thread within the email for further assistance.

    can i convert a carrie underwood song to mp3? would that still be illegal?
27. By RealPlayer Team Posted on October 16, 2013

    We respect copyright so if the video is protected RealPlayer will not convert it. However, Most of the files from YouTube are not protected with copyrights, so you can download files from YouTube and convert them to .MP3 format.

    If you have additional questions, send an email to help@real.com.

    I am still confused. It is October 31, 2013. I can not download videos from You Tube or Facebook and I have been doing so for years. Do these sites now longer allow you to download or is there a problem with Real Player? I uninstalled and reinstalled and I still can not download. Please let me know as I have been unable to get a clear answer from anyone that I understand.

    vidconvert.net its a cood site to convert youtube to mp3
31. By Adam Posted on January 7, 2014

    I’m not happy about no longer being able to convert my videos to mp3 through realplayer without upgrading to Realplayer plus. Like many people, I’m about to uninstall Realplayer and find some other means of converting my files. Which I really hate because I’ve been using Realplayer for about 4 years now and I like Realplayer. But, now Realplayer is trying to get greedy like all of these other great companies, I’m not gonna pay, I’m just gonna find another way to do what I’m trying to do.

    Hello there. I have started using your site to download videos and am grateful for this service, however I have a few questions about what I can and cannot upload. You see, my videos are AMVs with copyrighted music and I’ve had to change the audio for Youtube so I am not infringing on anyone’s material they don’t want me to use, something I was upset about in the past, but now I realize copyright is an important thing. So I uploaded some of my videos with music that is (as far as I am aware) by a band that has no label or recording company attached to them and they seem very supportive of people who make AMVS, and a few others with songs by Skillet and Breaking Benjamin. My concern is, will the copyright holders ask me to take them down if they see me using their song that belongs to them? If you say yes, I will remove that content at once.

    Thank you. I will take the ones down if I receive any complaints from the copyright owners….I just wanted a place to upload them in case anything happens to my computer. 😀 In the future, I might start uploading videos I take myself of things in my house. I’m sure anything I take pictures of in my house and create myself is perfectly legal. Thank you for notifying me. In the future, I will probably look for royalty-free music that I can use without any worries. Copyright is so complicated….. @.@ I surely mean no disrespect to the artists of these wonderful songs. But if they deem it bad, I will definitely remove them out of respect to them.

    Regards
