YouTube testing video downloads (including online learning presentations) - Yahoo! Tech
YouTube said it is dabbling with letting people download videos to computers as an alternative to watching clips streamed over the Internet. Video owners would be able to offer downloads for free or for small fees paid through a Google Checkout service, according to YouTube product manager Thai Tran.... Video copyright owners would be able to provide Creative Commons permits that license YouTube members to reuse content within specified limits. "We're also testing an option that gives video owners the ability to permit downloading of their videos from YouTube," Tran noted. Lecture videos from classes at a set of US universities including Stanford and Duke are being offered as free downloads at YouTube as part of a test of the service.
