Why downloading will be allowed (Score: 1) by reziac@pipedot.org on 2015-10-28 20:03 (#RXGF) From http://gizmodo.com/youtubers-are-up-in-arms-about-youtube-red-1738022087"the company says it will give YouTube Red partners a majority of the subscription revenue they bring in. YouTube hasn't specified the exact amount, but it will be based on your watch time."Reading this literally -- downloaded content has no "watch time" ... and therefore would not garner payment for the content creators.
