Will it be a good idea if the wmf or Wikimania writes to YouTube to asked
of much details or rights for that?
If the tos is in certain areas ambiguous, I think one can take advantage of
that. There are many sites I've noticed that allows one to input YouTube
link and it'll allow to download. YouTube hasn't arrested such ones?
Even critically saying, viewing a YouTube video, I'm downloading, because
it grabs files from the server, sends it in chunks, "is downloaded" onto my
PC, and I watch, just that its streaming without saving permanently to the
harddrive.

Does the TOS say that isn't a valid download link?
IANAL, but I suppose they could say that wasn't "displayed by YouTube" and
then we get into the semantics and details of how a link is displayed and
-- especially if you are a naive user using someone else's computer with
the plugin installed -- how you can tell if the link you see is "displayed
by YouTube."
Oh, but wait. I think this rabbit hole is already too deep. I'll stop
digging.

Yes, that's related to copyright and

what
about that first sentence:
You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar
link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content
