Submission + - Google bars site that converts YouTube songs into MP3s (cnet.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday June 19, 2012 @10:55AM

An anonymous reader writes: Google is apparently cracking down on a popular site that converts the music from YouTube videos into MP3s.
YouTube-MP3.org has received a letter from Google, YouTube's parent company, notifying the site operators that converting videos this way violates YouTube's terms of service, according to the blog TorrentFreak, which said it has seen the letter.
In addition, YouTube apparently has blocked YouTube-MP3.org's servers from accessing the site.

I hear that complaint from a lot from Windows users. But I don't think it's justified. I think the article's publisher is merely hyping the snob angle as a marketing ploy to drive click-through to his Linux-help blog. Nearly ever so-called Linux snob I've ever met has been an ex-Windows snob. If Linux users were such snobs why is there so much free documentation written by Linux users @ http://www.tldp.org/? Did I also mention the article's blog hypes a Linux help book?
