A legal question

Just wondering, about the legality of downloading videos from youtube. There are several programs out there that let you permanently download a video from youtube to a computer. Legal?
Thanks in advance,

If you look at section F in Part 5 of the Terms of Use.

F. You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the YouTube Website or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content or enforce limitations on use of the YouTube Website or the Content therein.

I'm guessing what you are talking about might fall under that. Would anyone know or care? Would anyone care enough to initiate legal action against you? Those are separate questions which I can't answer.
