The lawyersterms of Google have sent a lawsuit against TubeNinja, a by clicking here that allows λήψη content on YouTube in the form of various video or audio file formats.
Almost most of the users are aware of this kind of websites and most of them have used them to download content by YouTube, even if they are not available in their countries.
The TubeNinja there is only one more website in a sea of similar services that allow users to copy-paste a URL and then store the file of their choice on their computer, which is legally the act of committing copyright theft if the video is not under a special license.
Since the vast majority of these files are music videos, you can imagine the pressure Google is under. So it is not surprising that during the last weekteamς, η ομάδα της TubeNinja έλαβε μια επιστολή από νομική ομάδα του YοuTube, που τους ζητούσε να σταματήσουν όλες τις δραστηριότητες που σχετίζονται με το κατέβασμα αρχείων.
The letter was very specific and indicated that the site violated the terms of service provided by Youtube and its APIs. And he emphasized that non-compliance would undoubtedly lead to legal action.
TubeNinja's answer to all this is not using the YouTube APIs and that users are fully responsible for the way they use the service. He also says that if Google really wanted to ban video downloading then it would have to start first with the Chrome Web Store, where multiple Chrome extensions provide the same service just below Google's nose.
Google's anti-download service from Youtube has a history with the company attempting a similar 2012 bay against Youtube-mp3.com, but it has failed.
