The stream of idiocy in this thread caught my eye:

Admittedly it would have been more suited to metropol, but still he gets a load of twattishness from Beep and Chie when all he really needed was the answer.

I asked a genuine question - I can't see that there's any practical reason for downloading videos from YouTube at all. It's a website where you can watch videos, favourite them, and go back and watch them again if you want to. It is not a file sharing service.

Well, one reason to is because videos get deleted either by the user or by an objection, so it's good to have a hard copy, especially of rare tv clips. Plus it's not at all hard to fish it out of a browser's cache.

Yes, I've downloaded clips from YouTube several times for that very reason - thy aren't definately gonna stay there forever! I've also downloaded them as mp3s too for various reasons

Downloading them to edit into something else is fairly legitimate especially as half the stuff on YouTube is illegitimate anyway

Me too - flv to mp3 or sometimes dubbed to a video format my phone will play. There's a myriad reasons why people would want to keep things from YouTube.

And the legal issue, as you say, is questionable at best - but our Beep does like to get the authorities involved.

I would have thought they were too busy investigating MPs, but apparently not.

investigating all the PMs surely (?)

An excellent post from Brekkie, showing how well-informed he is...

What I don't get though is how these football clubs generally go into administration and remain their for months, while other big name brands, notably Woolworths, are wound up as soon as they enter administration. I thought the idea of administrator was to try and save the company from bankruptcy.

Further to my previous comment (on page 367), this just about sums it up, doesn't it?

Setanta staff are down to half pay and the 20million on offer for a 51 percent stake is not enough I think the end is nigh

Juicy Joe on BBC2's refresh: All they need now is a trumpet fanfare when Alex Deakin makes his grand entrance from the right during tonight's Newsnight weather forecast and BBC2 will be a complete joke, if it isn't one already! :roll: :roll:

Thought for one moment earlier, I was going to feature in this thread, thankfully that fear has been alleviated, thanks Hyma,
