They might be able to claim that your app is re-broadcasting their website and

Making that app might be similar to making a "cable box" to "catch" open
TV signals. That one ended bad for OJ. He was fined $25,000 for using the box.
Also the tube site could start serving up viruses whenever it detects your app.
Then your app gets blamed for it.

well it would be more of an rss agg. type app. and they cant claim I am re-broadcasting... its the user that is pulling the vid in via the app. Im not gonna host anything and push it out to people so legally it would ok on that end.
a great point on the virus however, and this all depends on what people here think, but I could detect the virus upload by seeding my own installs and playlist grabs and checking what tubesites are pushing just as they would try to detect the app (which btw I could make it so they cant) but regardless if they did start uploading viruses I would know (and could easily prove) and getting back to legal issues... I could royally fuck them if they did that. that for them would be their downfall... its prison time type of talk if you start doing shit like that.
its not really something of great interest to me because I am in a niche that's unaffected by them but it seems that everyone is crying about how they are fucking over the industry and more specifically peeps here at gfy so if the general consensus is that you gfy'ers would like the app I will create it and although I wont make any cash on it... Ill still get a good laugh.
