If download YouTube videos, this is a violation of its Terms of Use and thus a downloaded version of a video is not “legally obtained.” There appears to be four possible approaches: Obtain a permanent unblocking of the particular video. Ask the creator to also place the video on TeacherTube, which is not blocked. Obtain permission from the creator to download the video and use it for your class. Provide your students with the link and let them watch the video from home. Nancy -- Nancy Willard, M.S., J.D.
