Firefox has an add-on called DownloadHelper that can save videos.  As 
Fabian mentioned, youtube's terms of service dis-allow this, but my 
understanding is that fair use is allowed, regardless of any terms of 
service, at least in the U.S.  For example, jailbreaking your iPhone, or 
remixing a video is non-infringing use of copyrighted materials, 
according to the U.S. Copyright Office, even though Apple wants this to 
be illegal.  Check with EFF or your attorney for details.  :)

Fabian is right, though, that it would be nice to have the videos on 
explicitly more friendly terms, and it sounds like Drew is working on it.
