    I have a real player plugin that lets you save any YouTube video. I think Firefox has their own plugin for that, too. On an android phone, there are a few apps that let you rip the audio, or audio and video from any YouTube video as well.

    Yes. I have an application on my home PC that allows me to save YouTube videos in about 4 different formats. I'm at work now and don't remember the app name.

    yup! You can even save the video as an mp3 so you can keep just the audio.

    That and videodl.org are my go-tos, but I understand there are actually scads of these sites out there. I believe Cuban might have even let a couple others slip on one of his "content monetization = cold fusion/time travel" rants on blogmaverick.

    I can't be the only person who immediately thought of the guy from the "do you guys know how to post videos to facebook?" commercial.

    I prefer keepvid.com because you can save just the audio from vids if you want as mp3, have a choice between saving vids as .flv or .mp4, and can save from other popular video sites and not just youtube.

    I don't think any one person can save them -- it will take the work of millions, but in the end I still think they are doomed.
