Many stream-ripper websites have confirmed that YouTube is actively blocking ripping requests.
Another stream-ripper siteMp3-youtube.download, is too facing the same problem.
The website can no longer convert YouTube clips and convert only Vimeo.
If anyone tries to convert a YouTube clip, the site reads, Oops!
An error has occurred.
c’mon try converting again.
Apparently, none of the stream-ripping site operators were forewarned by YouTube.
Further, YouTubes blocking efforts havent apparently affected all stream-rippers.
Also, YouTube converters such as FLVTO.biz and 2conv.com, are continuing to work just fine.
They are also currently involved in a civil lawsuit against FLVTO.biz and 2conv.com in the U.S.
