> Pornhub has recently removed that download button.
News flash: there are many (many many many) softwares out there that can 'catch'/downlaod a video, mp3, etc. from a website.
I listen a daily radio show. Not live though. I wait till the recording is done, then wait till they upload it on the station's website, and I am using a SW to 'catch' the mp3, download it, and listen to it later at my convenience (and offline). I have written and asked them to make a podcast for each of their radio shows, they're in the process of setting it up, I just cannot listen to them live, so I do this 'illegal workaround'.
That same software can catch videos (and streams) from YT, Vimeo, and most sites I visit. I don't 'pirate', but I do download some old-time music videos because I fear that one day they will disappear (e.g. Van Halen - Right now, Chicane - Saltwater). I want to be able to watch them when I'm (very) old, and I don't know how 'old music' videos will be treated. I do pay for Spotify, so I do pay for the music I enjoy (to avoid any responses to the contrary).

(not picking a fight with you): If that was your sister, mother, daughter you wouldn't even think of writing something like that. It is cases like this though, that can bring a $50m penalty to the big bullies and their minions ("marios", "kevin"). And large corp don't give a poop for the little people. They care to not lose money. Slap a $50m penalty to PornHub, and see them changing their tune within 24h and fixing this problem within 2-3 months.
