What you're doing is illegal but Youtube/websites have a lot of stuff up 
that's easily accessible - the moral issue seems ambiguous especially if 
you use adblocker.. 

Check for a RSS feed (orange icon thingy) or maybe hash (md5) the page 
contents(html) and compare against your previous run? Also check out the 
etree module for extracting links and other useful data reliably.
