Peter Worthington has had an amazing life. And his obituary, which he wrote himself, certainly has an arresting opening line.
Ho Hum! YouTube's game of cat and mouse with BienneSoft (maker of the World's most popular YouTube downloading software) continues. On October 21st YouTube again altered the code on their site to disable the download tool.
Check out my previous blogs on the subject to understand the politics of this!
It took BienneSoft's software engineers just two days to respond and rush out a new version (2.5.3)which they claim gets round YouTube's new defences.
It's interesting to watch the battle between the World's most popular video sharing site and BienneSoft. How will it all end?

Never heard of BienneSoft before, but anyone I know who downloads YouTube videos uses either KeepVid, GetVid or directly downloads them from the page source code (easiest on a Mac). Haven't downloaded any myself for quite some time so I have no idea how effective these methods remain.
