Re: Downloading videos from YouTube?

["Charles P. Wiggins" <cpwiggins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cynthia,
 
In most cases, YouTube does not allow downloads and trying to
circumvent their safeguards against that would be a clear violation of
their Terms of Use ( http://www.youtube.com/t/terms ).

I gave a copyright presentation to faculty today (yay!) and I got some
questions I couldn't answer.  I'll post them separately, so I can keep
track of the answers easier.

I told them that it was okay to put links to YouTube videos in their
class
materials.  One professor asked a related question:  *Is it was okay
to
download the video instead, and provide a copy to students within
Blackboard?*

Can you help me answer that question?


Cynthia
