Another YouTube Conversion Site Clipped

Posted by timothy on from the no-wall-just-this-thorny-hedge dept.

Hodejo1 writes "[Tuesday] morning we learned that Google fired the first volley against YouTube conversion sites by blocking YouTube-MP3.org's servers from accessing its service and sending a letter threatening legal action. It looks like the fast growing Clip.dj also got the letter based on the note posted on the site: 'We're sorry to announce this, but Clip.dj has shut its service down for good.'"

    It's okay. I've got a firefox plugin that'll do it for me.

      Why did this get modded down? I came in here to say pretty much exactly the same thing.

      Personally, I use Video DownloadHelper because it applies more generally than just to YouTube; But search the FF addons for "YouTube" and you'll see at least a dozen plugins that will let you download whatever the hell you want. Some even transcode it for you on the fly, for those who can't bother with trying to figure out what to do with a FLV or MKV file.

      Give it up, Google - If I can see (or hear) it, I already have a copy. I thought you understood that better than the Big Media morons.
