Miro breaking YouTube Terms of Service?
How does Miro allow users to download video from YouTube, DailyMotion, etc. without breaking their Terms of Service? I thought YouTube for example forbid downloading of their videos.
I’m anxious

Inappropriate?This is an interesting question, and it really boils down to semantics. When you watch a YouTube video (from the YouTube website), your computer actually downloads the entire .flv video file. Miro is just allowing you to save the file that would normally be auto-deleted.
It's similar to a website having a disclaimer saying that visitors aren't allowed to download/save images to their hard drive -- the browser (firefox or IE) MUST download the image to display it, and also allows the user to save it, if they wish.

do you guys still display YouTUbe et. al's branded players and ads post-download? so once Miro downloads the video, the user no longer has to deal with the 3rd party site and the video is permanently stored on Miro? how do the content producers posting on these 3rd party sites get credited? -
