It takes exactly two clicks to save a video from YouTube. YouTube doesn't "protect" the videos at all because there is no way to do that without creating bigger problems. Also the only secure way is to not post the video at all, none of the "protection" really works.
We're working on something that comes at this problem from a different angle because there never has been a way to keep people from easily saving a video. If you own the hardware, like a cable company DVR, you can make it easiest to make a lower quality copy. You can also stop them from saving ridiculous amounts of content in a short time by not allowing them to download it twenty times as fast as they can watch it, which is the Throttlebox approach. A new approach is really needed, though, and we're working on something that should help.
