Since you agreed to not download videos from them, and Youtube downloaders don't always work the NEXT BEST THING is to email the owner of the video for a copy.

Thanks, Bob. That's a good idea--and obvious. I should have thought of it. The video I'm looking for would be used by a nonprofit organization for educational purposes in a free public program for small groups--which should make it fall under the "Fair Use" doctrine. (??) If the owner of the YouTube video wants to be paid, however, that we be a problem because we have no money.

Good luck with the request.

It's one of those discussions that can get folk upset. Fair Use does not mean we can ignore our agreements and use such just because it was on public TV or Youtube.

I'd hate to be on the receiving end of any ligation for using Youtube content in public display where my content was acquired without all the permissions.
