I just picked a song at random on YouTube. As Mike says, they only stream music, and most of us realise that videos are promotional in nature. They did offer a paid download on the bottom right of the screen.

You're right Big Jim, that people can download from YouTube, but by whatever means that they use to make the download, they must know that it's illegal, only because they are skirting the offer from YouTube to buy it. Otherwise they would buy the legal version.
