There is no protection. Youtube downloaders literally just download a file that's just sitting there, asking to be downloaded.

I agree.

So if the state had a list of drivers license numbers JUST SITTING THERE WITH NO PROTECTION? IS IT ASKING TO BE DOWNLOADED?? WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT??????????????????????

It means it not a hack. You may still not have authorization, but even that is hard to defend in this case - the youtube player also downloads the file (a little differently, but still, it definitely has to receive that data before it can display it and that's the definition of downloading), so you're not doing even anything you otherwise wouldn't have - except that you're keeping a "slightly more solid" copy.

Yes it is, and it will be done, and it wouldn't be a hack. That doesn't mean it will be legal.

In my opinion, ToS are just to scarce the faint of hearts away and that is why they use the word "MIGHT" instead of "MUST" often. And who are we kidding? Rebels gain more rep than knights using shining keyboards! Check out Pirate Bay, ISO Hunt, ssyoutube, etc they are all

.... Microsoft is famous.
I finally found the connection.
Harry Potter named his son Albus Severus Potter, so that the spirit of ASP lingers on forever. Well atleast untill his son's death or, his grandson is called ASPDN or better yet, MVC.

Hi All,
I intend to sell a particular domain name that is specific to an industry vertical. I plan to sell it as I am not able to find time to develop it. Without getting into the exact details (pardon me for that, just that I wanted to maintain the anonymity till I am ready), I would like to say that:
1. Its a broad name of a particular industrial domain. E.g. somewhat on the lines of www.books.com
2. My intended buyer would be a computing based startup or an established company in that area. Extending the example in point above - www.books.com redirects to www.barnesandnoble.comr
3. Of course, the buyer would have an option to either use it actively or keep it parked the way Barnes & Noble has done to www.books.com with an appropriate redirection.
How should I approach potential buyers? What are my options of putting an advert?
1. Craiglist?
2. Something else?
3. What may get best footfall?
best regards and a happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I would put up a bespoke home page on the site that visually suggests its relevance to the industry, and a visible, but subtle, notice the name/site are for sale, and then evaluate if somehow notifying a select group of potential buyers the name is available for purchase would be a good choice.
But, there could be a risk in that: if someone knows you want to sell, that may erode your bargaining position. Also, what if the people you contact perceive you as a spammer and are annoyed, and report you, and the site-name gets a bad reputation, and you get a bad-rep.
Keep in mind that "brand names," "trade names," etc. often represent deep emotional investments for people who own/use them, and have spent many $ and energy promoting them, often over many years.

Start by checking you WHOIS info: go to www.who.is[^] and it can tell you your current info. Check that it refers to you, so if anyone who really wants it looks, they can ask you directly. (Exactly how you edit it depends on your current hosting service - ask them).
Bear in mind that most domain names don't have a lot of value: so try to be realistic in you pricing. Craigslist / FleaBay is probably not the best vehicle for selling a domain - think about where you would go to buy one! Good places: at the domain itself! It's also worth noting there are companies specialising in the sale of domain names - Google can find them for you - I've not used them, but I'd check what commission they charge before I signed up.

Even though...
...The three "prequels" were a bit rubbish.
...The original had a plot you could spelunk in.
...Luke was as convincing as a chocolate teapot.
...when the music starts, you just go "Yes!" damnit!
