Youtube: Almost Better than Limewire

A good number of people in the early to mid 2000's have likely heard of the service Limewire, which allowed users to download media that was shared over servers. People would find the song or video they were looking for and then download it. The speed of the download often depended on how many people had the exact file you were looking for available to download. Such services are now dead and or dying due to the illegality of its nature. What has become one of the more common ways to download free music has come by means of the website YouTube. Individuals can legally watch YouTube videos anytime they want, but unfortunately don't always have the rights to download what is being shown. Music videos are very common on YouTube and often are very high quality and exactly what people are looking for. How do you get said music into an MP3 format available to download you ask? Simple. There are numerous sites such as http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ that allow you to enter the URL of the specific video you are attempting to get the music from, and turns it into a downloadable MP3 file for you to use as you please. On their site, they state the basic cause of the site "YouTube-mp3.org is the easiest online service for converting videos to mp3. You do not need an account, the only thing you need is a YouTube URL.
