Downloading videos from YouTube and other sites

By Krishna Chaitanya Mandava | Published: February 4, 2007

In the age of online videos and video blogs, how far is it justified to be able to download your favorite videos from sites like YouTube? Well, it’s a tricky question, considering the fact that many of those videos are not meant to be there in the first place. I suggest a modest policy of downloading such videos but abstaining from spreading them around.

Here is how you go about that. Download and install Firefox from http://www.GetFirefox.com if you don’t have it already. Then go to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2584/ and install the add-on from your Firefox browser. You will be prompted to restart the browser. After the restart, you should see the Ook! icon in the left-bottom corner of the browser window.

While watching a video, if you decide to download it, just click on the Ook icon and your download should start immediately.
