There is a new service out called Mp3dify (or mp3ify) that will convert Youtube to mp3 files. It allows you to take any Youtube video and convert it into an mp3 sound files for use on any mp3 player. Mp3s can be used on virtually any computer, ipod, or mp3 player.
There is no word on what Google (owner of Youtube) thinks of this new website located at http://mp3ify.com, but some people are questioning its legality. Basically when you copy music off of a Youtube music video, you are pirating that song. There should be a lot of debate over this new website, and it will be interesting to see if Google takes action to prevent sites like this from converting it’s content to other formats.
There are other websites online that allow users to download Youtube videos, and Google hasn’t taken any action against them as of yet either.
Pirating music is nothing new to the internet, but many governments and corporations have been taking a lot of steps recently to hold those offenders accountable.
