@miroxlav Violating a terms of service agreement is not criminal in the US (and probably in many other countries). See the court decision Facebook v. Power Ventures – Franck Dernoncourt

But if something is not criminal, it might not necessarily mean that it is ethical. Especially in cases when someone expressed his will NOT TO DO IT. How will this site cope with the above issue?

EDIT: the exact paragraph of youtube terms is 4.C. (or 5.C. in some localized versions): You agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Service itself, the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly authorized means YouTube may designate.
