Ok this might work for downloading MOVIES and SOFTWARE
But music, It wont work

HEre is why

www.VDownloader.es
Download VDownloader programme which allows you to remove any video from youtube you want and rip it into MP3 of any popular media format

So teachnically it would show up to virgin like your just browsing the website as your only downloading the FLV file and then converting it.

But thats so long that YOUTUBE dont crack down on the PIRACY thing

Is that software illegal?
No its just allowing you to obtain the FLV file to videos uploaded by the public such has homemade videos etc, Its YOUTUBE who are in breach of copyright since they have the material copied on to their servers. It only becomes illegal for you when you use that programme to download the music videos illegally uploaded by others.

I hate to think Virgin Media have been having meetings and planning about this for months only to find I have ruined it for them in a matter of 5 minutes
