Recently I have downloaded a program for extracting audio from video. This means I could take a video and use only the sound, especially if it was a song!
I would download the youtube video, usually pretty good quality, and I would use the audio extractor to take the video away, turn it into an audio file and put it on my ipod!
Now: Is this or is this not illegal?
It's very useful and I feel like I'm getting a better deal then trying to take it off of limewire.

Tell me if this is wrong!

It is, by technicality, pirating music and therefore considered illegal, but the feds aren't going to come knock down your door anytime soon for downloading free media for your iPod. It's kind of a personal choice- I don't like to illegally download things like video or music without paying because I feel bad about it. I feel like I'm cheating whoever recorded the music out of money and such. So I use iTunes instead of Limewire. You're not going to get thrown in jail for it, by any means, but if it makes you feel bad, then pay for it :)
