What if the law explicitly grants me the right to do it?
Lov om opphavsrett til åndsverk m.v. (åndsverkloven) - 2. kapittel. Avgrensning av opphavsretten og forvaltning av rettigheter ved avtalelisens - Lovdata[^]
§12 opens with (in my very amateurish, un-authorized translation): When not done for profit, single copies of a published work may be made for private use. Such copies may not be used for any other purpose.
... There are a number of restrictions, such as you cannot set up a service to do the copying for others. For a few clases of works (architecture, electronic games, ...) you do not have this right to created copies. But for movies / music (and other sound, such as audio books and radio plays), you have this explicit right to make copies.
You cannot demand a copy, though: The rights holder may apply whatever kind of copy protection to make it difficult for you make a copy; you cannot complain about that. But if you succeed in making a copy, for private non-commercial use, without breaking any of the restricitons, the rights holder cannot sue you.

Or, you can just watch the video on YouTube like the rest of us.

It started with books: Again and again, when I wanted to buy a copy of one of my favorite books as my gift to a friend, it was "out of print". (That's a much bigger problem in a small language, like Norwegian with about 5 mill native speakers, than in English.) So nowadays, I buy a couple extra copies of my most valuable books, so that I have them available as gifts even when out of pring.
I started buying DVDs before video streaming was commonplace, and I still buy my movies on DVD/BD. Whenever I see lists of new movies available for streaming, I look through the list of discontinued movies, and brighten up every time I can say: Fortunately, that movie is still available in my bookshelf! (It happens all the time.)
A number of movies, documentaries etc. are not available on DVD/BD; the only way to see them is on internet - usually for a limited time. If they were available, I would have bought them. I download them to make sure they are as permanently available as if I had bought a physical copy. Several times, I have had a downloaded copy for a couple of years when the movie finally comes out on DVD/BD, and I buy a physical copy.
Sometimes I am too late: Last Friday, I watched on YouTube a great concert with a favorite group of mine, deciding that I would preserve it. It was late at night, so I postponed it until Saturday. On Saturday, the concert was taken off YouTube due to copyright violations. A significant number of YouTube video copies I've got are no longer available online; sometimes there are copyright issues, but most often they are simply gone. I am happy to have my own copies.
Also, my own copies can be played where I do not have an internet connection. That happens quite often, when vacationing, when visiting friends etc. I show a lot of my movies to a friend who has an internet connection, but not where we watch movies (in another house on the property). I am in the planning stage for a home movie theater, and I still haven't seen any good reason for installing an internet connection there (it is unsuitable for wireless). So I will continue moving physical copies from my PC to my movie player.

I'm sorry, I did not read your post. Too many words.
It is also a little disturbing to me at least, that you are dumping your brain onto the screen like this, over such a trivial thread.

Would you accept a video version of my post? Or would that be too intellectually demanding as well?

Careful. YouTube could give you a strike. Three strikes, and you're out!
I use DVDFab to create backups of videos on youporn youtube.

I just came across the two threads ("What you like / do not like about me") in your profile ... What a blast in the past, those many people who once were on the site and left .. Paul, Shog, Chris(s), Trollslayer, Corinna ... I feel old, and I miss quite a bunch of them !

Yeah, those were my formative years, when people were first learning that they really might want to consider fearing me. 
I think my favorite memory was the dude that insulted himself to save me the trouble. I think he posted an article about the Koran/Quran/whatever. It was way back when CP first introduced the idea of registered users. I've tried to find it again, but to no avail. Only Chris has the keys to that particular vault.

I feel there is no longer the need to download YouTube videos. Being always online, just watch it there, on YouTube.

That is until the video gets removed. Besides, what if I want to take a video and edit it. The whole motivation for my post is that I want to download the video of the dog saluting Hitler, but want to trim it down to the few seconds where the dog is actually saluting.

Thats a neat app! Thanks
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Why not just contact the uploader and ask if they can give you a url for the download?

My favorite place to go to download videos is OffLiberty. It is simple, quick and easy to use. All you do is go to the site, paste in a URL, like a YouTube URL, then click the button and off it goes! Offliberty - evidence of offline life[^]

I use FF59 for personal browsing, because I don't like to be coupled to Google 247, especially when I spend much of my leisure time on YouTube. With FF, I use the following downloaders: Flash Video Downloader, Flash and Video Download, and YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. I use Flash Video Downloader the most and if I want to download from YouTube, or even Putlocker, GoMovies, or any other website, I typically get what I want.

It looks like my Yahoo Mail page has changed, with there being a big panel on the right that is empty (I think I have an existing Yahoo Mail adblocker). Yahoo gives me a dialog box asking if I want to add this Wider Mail extension, or pay $3.49 per month.  This makes me think that this extension is a sneaky, evil way to somehow spam or spy on me, etc. I have tried searching for information, but the only source I can find is controlled by Yahoo, of course that is not trustworthy.

And to think there's people still using Yahoo mail. Or any product by a company called "Yahoo." Beam me up, Scotty!

OK, I get the feeling that Yahoo is now considered by the k3wl crowd to be as L7 as AOL. 
What is a "better" E-mail system? Google? Outlook?
That said, it does concern me that I've got so much stored stuff @ Yahoo, as moving over to a new system would be a PITA.

I've have a retired customer in his 70's who uses an AOL email address. Doesn't use AOL to access the internet but way back when he did.

As opposed to what ? Their mail client is great, no issue in the last 20 years, available everywhere in the world. I honestly do not know why I would change.
