Besides, I do believe its legal once the video's online, because by putting it online you agree that other users' (web browsers) may download the video onto their computers. I believe it comes to the intervention of third-party programs which makes downloading "illegal" (as to what they say). By uploading alone though, I think the hosting site is reliable for 'not' putting anything in the site which makes a content readily-downloadble.
