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.

If I install the appropriate Firefox plugin, I see a "download" link. 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.
