Also the legal benefit of scraping the site without the YouTube API is that you haven't had to accept their terms of service.
There's an Android app called GrayJay that got a C&D from Google, and they told Google to kindly fuck off, because they hadn't used any of Google's APIs. Google had no leg to stand on.
Interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
