#summary Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you help people violate copyright?

get-flash-videos is a tool, like any tool it can be misused. Time shifting has been considered fair use for many years and using get-flash-videos to download a video for later viewing is much the same.

This leaves it up to the user to make sure they delete the files when it is appropriate. I believe this is the best approach -- technological measures such as DRM are not the way forward, if someone wants to make a copy of a video they *will* find a way.

If you still think get-flash-videos shouldn't exist then how far should it be taken? Should programming languages that make it possible to write a YouTube downloader be banned?
