Hope they never hear of youtube-dl.


Or ffmpeg, or the browser inspector (with which you can see the URLs to the video and audio clips and download them with any program), or Wireshark, or...


They are targeting youtube-mp3 (and has a big chance to win) because:

1. they store the illegal copy on their servers

2. they are profiting from this (probably a lot because it's the first result for "youtube mp3" in Google)
