According to YouTube’s TOS, it is a violation to download the videos.
"You may access User Submissions for your information and personal use solely as intended through the provided functionality of the YouTube Website. You shall not copy or download any User Submission unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the YouTube Website for that User Submission.”
However, what you probably did not realize is that whenever you view a YouTube or other video it is already downloaded to your computer. When you watch a video online, it downloads the file to your /tmp directory. All that you need to do is visit your directory and copy the file elsewhere on your computer. Simple as pie.
