Copying audiovisual content is forbidden according to the YouTube Developer Policies

Aside from the permissions and rights granted in this section, you and your API Clients have no further permissions or rights to API Data, including to temporarily stored API Data.

Audiovisual Content

  1. You and your API Clients must not, and must not encourage, enable, or require others to:

    1. download, import, backup, cache, or store copies of YouTube audiovisual content without YouTube's prior written approval,
    2. make content available for offline playback, or
    3. use any aspect of the YouTube API Services to facilitate or promote copyright infringement or the exploitation of copyright-infringing materials.

Probably it is not wanted from youtube that videos are downloaded :) They cannot show ADs once you downloaded it and so on. It is possible however, you can look at the thread from 2014 here :
