What's good for the Google clearly is not good for the gander. The grandfather of all scraping sites, Google made its billions sending robots to download, analyze and extract data from other people's websites. Now it is sending a 'cease and desist' to a company doing the same to one of its own services. YouTubeMP3 is a simple service that does one thing: it provides you with an MP3 version of any YouTube video. The company says what it does is legal and is refusing to shut down its service. Time may be running out, though, so I'm taking the opportunity to convert some old Runaways videos. The quality isn't the best (it's YouTube, after all) but I'll never find this audio elsewhere and it's easier than playing them while recording with Audacity (I feel like I did when I was a teenager tape-recording King Biscuit Flower Hour concerts off the radio).
