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?
As far as I know, Youtube does not have the authority to arrest anyone anywhere, so having
that as a metric on whether it is allowed is probably useless.

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.

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
permissions of the material, but 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
