   I would like to write a plugin for !gnusocial that - when you link a YouTube video (or similar) it launches 'youtube-dl', gets the video and then host it locally.
   Fortunateley, I found a 3TB harddrive that I that already had been put to good use.

     @mmn Wow, I can't write for scraps. Should I rest my eyes a bit before doing anything important?

     @erkan Yes, or just get the #WebM directly. Most videos have it as an option. (otherwise 'youtube-dl' can convert itself).
     And I think it is pretty clear #YouTube does _not_ allow third parties to host "their" videos. You can't even download CC:by licensed videos from the website afaik. It would of course be a blatant violation of copyright.
