I know that many videos are copyrighted, I found that trying to download Sanford and son that applied, yet, many of the Sanford videos are free those are the ones I am looking at..

You mention the the "download button", is that an item that can be placed on my computer and if so where will I locate it?

I did see in one of my attempts to find a site to download this: "youtube music download 7.9. Would appreciate your input.

Sorry but with so many infested Youtube downloaders I may note one and even then will never vet or promote it. This decision is yours to make.
