youtube-mp3.org

A German interested in computer science named  Philip Matesanz owns the url http://www.youtube-mp3.org. This site allows users to type the url of a video posted to youtube.com and have the audio ripped and downloaded so you can listen to it offline. This site, like the spitting of the atom has legitimate purposes, but most know the atom followed by an "-ic bomb" like most know these sites for illegally copying and using copyrighted material without paying for a license to listen to it. This practice is not morally correct, but it is hard to stop those using it illegitimately without infringing upon the rights of those who do.
