Watch the inauguration online
Detroit Free Press - United States
Once a video starts playing, a small "Click to Download" link appears on the lower left of the YouTube screen, allowing the viewer to download a copy of it ...
The Obama administration is also feeding the frenzy.
Its ChangeDotGov channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/ChangeDotGov) is offering inside looks on the transition leading to Tuesday's inauguration with a new twist: The videos can now be downloaded.
That's a first for Google, which quietly rolled out the new download feature over the past few days; for now it's only on the Obama channel but later to be expanded to other videos.
Once a video starts playing, a small "Click to Download" link appears on the lower left of the YouTube screen, allowing the viewer to download a copy of it to their computer's hard drive.
While third-party software has been available for some time that will capture audio and video from YouTube, this is the first endorsement of the practice by Google and constitutes a shift in its closed-wall proprietary practices.
