YouTube is easily a top destination for music consumption, and not just in the viewing of music videos, but for general streaming of music as well. Recognizing this, several websites have been created and utilized by large numbers of people that allow for the conversion of audio from YouTube videos into downloadable mp3s, making it easy for people to “own” the tracks they’ve streamed – and Google, owner of YouTube, is not happy about this.

According to a report over at TorrentFreak, sites like YouTube-Mp3.org and Music-clips.net have been receiving letters indicating that their services allow users to download material from YouTube, which directly violates the company's terms of service. The sites even allow users to input the YouTube link directly and receive a download with the video's audio. While YouTube-Mp3.org does not use YouTube's API, they remain in Google’s crosshairs, having been sent a letter on June 8 threatening to be sued if they did not shut down in seven days (Google’s own DoubleClick service reports that the site receives 1.3 million hits per day).
YouTube-MP3’s owner, named only as “Philip”, is contesting the action and sent a long response to Associate Product Counsel at YouTube, Harris Cohen, looking to negotiate. YouTube and Google, however, do not seem to be interested. In fact, Google has blocked all of YouTube-MP3′s servers from accessing YouTube, essentially stripping the site of its primary service.

While there are certainly several other sites that provide a suitable alternative to YouTube-Mp3.org or Music-clips.net, Google looks to be eliminating the issue by starting out with the biggest ones first, saying they have a mandate from their users to protect how the content they upload to YouTube is shared and disseminated.

damn dats fucked up
but a nigga like me can still use dat audacity to record music interally off my pc

You sometimes have the choice of setting the download quality to high or low on some sites, but I don't know if that really makes a difference

the bass always sucks when you rip from youtube

never do it

i ripped 3-2 smokin big killa from there cause i couldnt find it anywere else but youtube...let them shut those sites down pirates will ALWAYS find away around it...they can never stop free shit

Go on CNET.com and download a YouTube downloader... It allows you to download vid or convert to mp3 or mp4 or what ever is available with the downloader.....

theres always a way...

you can't stream anything wit a decent program... shit you can stream using windows recorder... so they can't stop shit...

this shit is crazy you can't stop people from stealing shit... all you can do is create a new format... or a new product of some kind that makes everything else thats old obsolete... but niggas always figure out a way to bootleg...

shit I still got some damn tapes I dubbed back in the 90's... dubbed me a mixtape strait off the damn radio...

you can't stop piracy... its gonna happen... only true fans support their favorite artist...

I made personal youtube mixtapes back in the day... its ideal to use youtube for those rare or super underground tracks that you'll never find...

Fuck youtube and its copyright shit, but i still get payed by them, if a nigga would steal my audio and shit i be pissed too

"shit I still got some damn tapes I dubbed back in the 90's... dubbed me a mixtape strait off the damn radio..."
shit, so do i...college radio shows and mixes...those were the days...kids have it so much easier now days to get what they want....bunch of sniveling bitches..i was even in a snail mail trading circle for concert bootlegs for a few bands back when rock didnt suck so bad.

i record using Audio Hijack Pro on my Mac. 320kbps so the quality is as good as YouTube will allow


get on my level

Fuck em they cant stop us....we bootleg the bootleg
