There is a YouTube video that I really want to have a copy of. I happen to know that there would be no copyright violations involved. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

KeepVid is what I've been using. But as Barry says, there are hundreds of them out there. Some free, some not so free.

Thanks, folks. I've never used YouTube much, and never thought about this aspect of it until I was working on a web site yesterday. I've had a link to YouTube, but I started to worry that the link might go away some day. Jerry Schwartz
