YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time. Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

And who is so worried about this copyright infringement ... such performers as Neil Diamond, Diana Ross and the like who instead of being long forgotten are kept alive by YouTube? Oh wait, that's right ... media conglomerates still refuse to accept the fact that people are tired of being told what to like and watch and therefore are choosing to watch and share what they prefer. This, I suppose is a threat to the crap that Viacom and the like produce. Oh wait, that's right we are all suppose to go back to buying CD's with only one good song and taking it on the chin like an adult (barf). And yet they wonder why we run to other artistic outlets in droves... Catherine, the redhead blogger Viacom (snort).

That's a little embarrassing because normally I'm a hard rock and heavy metal fan. ABBA is like 1970's disco music so if this gets out and viacom matches it to my real identity, it could ruin my reputation as a rocker! Could I sue viacom for emotional distress? (would be willing to settle for those 12TB of hard drives when they are done with them) I watched an ABBA video on there because I thought the blond singer was kind of cute.
