Reading this quite nearly knocked off half my IQ.Nevander wrote:Also I would say that it technically isn't piracy, since it's a recording and you're using it for yourself. It's not a direct rip of a CD or something that you share. Now recording and distributing is different.
First, there's the copyright infringement of uploading to youtube in the first place. Making it available there is making it available for distribution, which is quite bad.
Then there's saving a copy to your drive, thus illegally obtaining content without a valid license. What country are you in? I'll google the applicable law for you.
