In section 5B of YouTube's terms of service, it says:

"Content is provided to you AS IS. You may access Content for your information and personal use solely as intended through the provided functionality of the Service and as permitted under these Terms of Service. You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content. You shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent of YouTube or the respective licensors of the Content. YouTube and its licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in and to the Service and the Content."

According to the above section of YouTube's T.O.S., videos on their site shouldn't be downloaded unless a download link of the video is provided.

I use TubeMate, a third party android software to download videos from YouTube.

Is this a sin?

it is a sin. Hell fire awaits you

OP, while it is good to be scrupulous, you are highly prone to getting entangled with legalism. The most important message of that clause is that content should not be used for any other purpose except for personal use only and personal is interpreted strictly to foreclose distributing to friends, family or community or where it is used for with a view to getting a commercial gain or benefit.



Alternatively, you could use services such as peggo.co to access Youtube and download contents but for personal consumption and use only.

...more comments please.

What is sin?

crusadistic:
yes its sin just like anytime you download free music

The videos I download are not paid videos. They are meant to be free. Its just that Youtube is against one downloading them. What do you think?

...no satisfying reply so far.
