It might be easier for me to get access to the LF's YouTube account. Maybe there's a "Download my videos" option which would make the scraping unnecessary (I don't post stuff to YouTube so I don't know what features their author accounts provide.) But if it does end up being necessary, YouTube can hardly complain about the copyright holder downloading and copying their own video. In any event I'll check with the powers that be a the Linux Foundation, and make sure I at least have their permission. -- Tim
