Youtube Converters... illegal D:?

Question Posted Wednesday February 23 2011, 7:13 pm

Just out of curiosity, are youtube converters illegal? Because I was told that if no one paid for it, it's illegal... So, couldn't you trace some music that someone posted on youtube because they bought the CD or does that not count???
