    In general, it is legal.

    I know a free online flv downloader and converter.

    http://www.convertdirect.com/

    You just add youtube videos to the address bar, select output format mp3, click "convert" button directly, and input your email address, that's ok!

    Of course it is, why do you think most of the videos are losing sound? They have copyrighted material and they are soundless because of that. Why is it illegal?You still are downloading material which you haven't pay to have.But don't worry, there are much worst pirates and nothing happens to thewm...I'm getting seriously excited for the Pirate Party....Now it's just a matter of time to have free information!

    If you want to do that, you should try "vixy". You put the URL in and then it turns into a quicktime. It is really fast! I do not think it is illegal because if they put t on the web anyone can see it. So if they put it online them why can't you turn it to a mp3! Here is the site!

    it would still be illegal, but unlike other illegal methods it's not as traceable. It's about the same as recording a song off the radio.

    Its illegal- not worth it trust me. But if you ask the video maker and they allow then it is okay:)
