Probably.  And they'll probably soon circumvent what I've found from 
working.  In the end, as long as anything is on the screen, it still CAN 
be copied (Print Screen key), or downloaded, or recorded.

I remember the good old days - not all that long ago - when I got decent
quality YouTube downloads right away with the YouTube Downloader. This 
seems
very complicated and discouraging. Is YouTube trying to discourage us 
from
downloading from their site, or is there some other hidden agenda at 
play
here?

There are numerous ways of doing it.  You first should know
this:

Recently while at YouTube I noticed they appear to be blocking
downloads with the RealPlayer plugin, it usually
says "Unable to record", but there's a way around it.  There's
also a newer version of the DownloadHelper extension for FF
that appears to work better than the previous versions.

Details:

You can sometimes get a better quality version of a watched
video by putting &fmt=18 at the end of the URL in your address
bar.  (You first have to remove anything that may already be
there after an existing & in the URL, like that
"&FeatureRelated" or however it's written).
