The reaction of Google to online YouTube video ripper sites is not of a positive kind. In fact, Google has de-indexed or started penalty for websites for audio ripping and video ripping sites. That should not come as a shock considering that Google has been looking for means and ways to have publishers put up their contents on YouTube but are hesitant because of the widespread and extensive uploading of copyrighted materials.
In contrast to online YouTube video ripper sites, desktop YouTube video ripper programs are 100% safe for ripping any videos you want from YouTube or other YouTube-similar sites.

Violating the YouTube TOS might result in the failure to use your YouTube or Google account. However, Google might not be aware that you're using YouTube Video Ripper to rip video from YouTube.

In my opinion, it's completely safe and legal to rip YouTube video for personal use only.
