Is it illegal to download music videos to your iPod using a converter off Youtube?

The converter is called Moyea Youtube to iPod Converter.. It's free, but it leaves a watermark on the videos. Is this illegal?

    Yepp, it's always illegal if you're downloading from a free converter which makes artists lose money. Be careful :)

    Doing such things in any case is illegal. Specially Music industry is very noisy about law. But if you download from youtube by using any source for personal purpose then not a big deal though it is still illegal.

    I think it's legal as long as you do it without business purpose. You may take a look at this guide, it's about how to download youtube video to iPod, it's free and without watermark.

    possibly, but its not like there gonna throw you in the slammer for doing this, I mean like how many people have been caught from downloading music from limewire? maybe like 10...out of a couple million, no worries.

    Well it is illegal in a sense, as you are downloading people's copyrighted material, although I don't really think that the cops are gonna pull up at your driveway and arrest you. There is a great program out there that can convert Youtube videos into all sorts of formats, including MP4 (iPod, PSP)

    It doesn't leave a watermark and is perfect quality

    Heres the link

    Theres also this program that will help you convert it into the iPod. Its called Videora iPod Converter

    Heres the link:

    Hope this helps you out
