I have been using a youtube video to MP3 converter for most of a year now, and quite often.
All of a sudden (starting today) the converter will only convert private peoples' videos and live concerts,
but no longer converts any regular corporate-released material and shows an "error" message instead.
Still works fine on non-record-company owned stuff. But for regular recordings by signed artists, it's a total
wipe-out, as far as I can tell. And it all started in the last 24 hours.
Maybe It's a coincidence (doubt it), but maybe it is the start of a new era?
Anybody else seeing similar effects on the internets?

(997 posts)Youtube has been engaged in a cat-and-mouse game to prevent capture of videos or the audio track for a couple years. Youtube likely started switching the data format recently and your capture app cannot read it.
And that has absolutely nothing to do with net neutrality.
