Is it illegal to convert youtube videos into mp3 or a video and put it in your phone?

OKey, i see:) i think it is legal only the author have never claim its copyright protections:) But if you just for enjoy not for businees benefit,you can download and edit it:) You can try this online one. http://www.convertdirect.com/ Just insert the url, select the right output format, and press "convert". The video will be saved to your computer hard drive automatically. Or if you prefer better quality and don't mind a trial, here is a downloaded one. http://www.flvsoft.com/flv_to_video/ With this tool, you can download, play, and convert youtube vids to many video and audio formats. I'm using it for a long time and it works very well. 1. download the video (it will automatically be saved to your hard disk) 2. convert the video to the relative format

Well I have used real player 11 and I know it is pretty useful. I guess it depends on the video if it is legal or not. For example if someone ripped a dvd and put it on youtube (or other internet video site) without permission, that would be illegal.

Swibs answer is nice. When you "buy" a song on iTunes, you're not really buying it. Instead, you're acquiring the license to listen to a song that can be taken away from you at any moment, can't be sent anywhere you'd like for it to be, and is subject to draconian copyright laws that see you paying too much for too little.
