Google Video now allows downloading, except you can only play them on the Google Video Player and you have to be online to play copy-protected videos you purchase and download.
The real face of Google Video, or Steam for TV. Screw that.

Yeah, I hate Google Video, and YouTube and the like. You want to show me a video? Let me download it and keep it and play it when, where, and in what application I want, kthx.
So now Google is going to start doing more and more evil things like this, and people are going to go along with it because everything Google is automatically kewl? God, I hope not. Google's quality in some services can't be allowed to outweigh shittiness in others.
People, please stop using Google Video! Let it die!
