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.
