YouTube-MP3- The world’s largest and most popular YouTube movies/audio download website shut down
If you are a YouTuber or YouTube fan, chances are that you probably might have used YouTube-MP3.Org to download your favorite song in MP3. This was the largest and most popular website on the Internet used by millions to convert the copyrighted YouTube songs into free MP3s.
YouTube-MP3, one of the most top free YouTube Mp3 convert and download sites is soon shutting down, thanks to the music industry. The Anti-piracy group led by RIAA, the chief arm of music industry’s anti-piracy drive have managed to get a court order from a federal court in the United States to shut YouTube-MP3.org down.
The anti-piracy groups who have their eyes peeled on torrent websites have now turned to the YouTube to MP3 and MP4 converter websites. According to Torrent Freak, the admin of YouTube-mp3.org — who was sued by the Recording Industry Association of America last year — has apparently agreed to hand his site over to the RIAA in return for a certain unknown settlement.
According to the settlement documentation, the site’s operator is restrained from “knowingly designing, developing, offering, or operating any technology or service that allows or facilitates the practice commonly known as ‘streamripping.’”
Users may still see the familiar homepage of YouTube-mp3.org but as soon as you try to input a YouTube URL and try to convert, you will get a popup indicating “this service is not available from your jurisdiction.”
Though there are still hundreds of YouTube to MP3 or MP4 converter websites, YouTube-Mp3.org was non-frills and easy to use music converting website and will be missed by millions of music lovers who used it regularly.
