YouTube Video Downloads End!

YouTube has officially ended support of its video download program that was currently in beta. This will prevent YouTube Partners from enabling their new videos in a downloadable format.

[Skip to 1:56 for the news.]

This may not be the final nail in the coffin for download YouTube videos legally, but it’s definitely a step backwards.

Rumors have been flying around that YouTube is preparing to launch a program that would charge for streaming content.

Which would you prefer to pay for: downloadable or streaming videos?

Here’s an excerpt from the email:
“We want to thank you for supporting and participating in this beta test and for helping us make YouTube better, but we have decided not to fully productize this, for now. This means that we will continue to support downloads of videos that you previously submitted, but that you will not be able to enable any new videos for download. We apologize if this will cause any inconvenience. Meanwhile, we are reevaluating on an ongoing basis whether/when to launch Downloads capability on YouTube as a fully supported commercial feature for all users and partners.”

 For those who are into music in a big, or even little way
you should have heard of Nine Inch Nails. Even if you have
not what you might like to know is the huge band has
released a new single from their next album online to
download for free.

The only catch is you have to put in an email address to
receive a time-limited download link for the MP3 file.
Doesn’t seem so bad so why not give it a try? The server
is even pretty fast for the download.
