Youtube only yanks it when someone claims copyright. It's caused a lot headaches - people getting things yanked that they do not have the rights to has actually happened before.

So all that copyrighted stuff (music videos, for instance) just hasn't been claimed yet. You won't see anything from Viacom, because they are pretty vigilant about it.

As far as other programs that will do it...

I'm not sure why you'd want to download youtube videos, though...they are pretty crappy quality. When someone uploads to youtube, it goes through some serious compression. Even the new "high quality" flv files are pretty crappy.

Why can't you save something that's been posted elsewhere? If your club has a website, they can post it there - simply right-click it and save it.
