Copyright & Lawful YouTube Downloads
1.1 Personal use only
Issue: Unsure whether downloading with Ballad VideoDownloader is allowed.
Solution: Use the app only for personal purposes, and only for content you own, have permission to download, or that is otherwise lawfully available—including YouTube and other sites. Always follow the hosting site’s terms of use and applicable copyright law. Ballad does not encourage or condone copyright infringement.
1.2 Before you download
Issue: Want a quick checklist before saving a file.
Solution: Confirm the content is in the public domain, that you own it, or that you have permission from the copyright holder or hosting site to save it offline.
