Absolutely check with a lawyer but I would suspect this would be a big no-no. Many (most? all?) of these sites have advertising that either shows on the webpage that loads with the video (e.g. youtube) or an video advertisement that must play before the actual content (I think TVNZ or TV3 does this). If you cache the content somewhere else, they don&#39;t get paid advertising revenue for everyone who watches it. I think the legality follows on from there.<br>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Hey all,</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Content question again �
but this time a legal question.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">For any content that is
�freely available on the web� � what is the legality of
acquiring this content and delivering it locally?</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">For example.. many TV stations
are uploading full episodes onto their websites after the show has aired.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">YouTube would be another
example.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">I am only talking about free
content � which is not paid for, but freely downloadable from websites.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">I guess I am talking about a
�pre-caching� kind of situation.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">�</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Also, does anyone know at what
point music becomes legally free to use in Australia?... like books after 50years
after the authors death (in the US it is 20).</span></p>
