In case anyone else here is as disheartened as I am by YouTube's policy
of not allowing offline downloads of the videos they host, you can find
straight-download copies of the two videos in question here:

ftp://ftp.freecalypso.org/pub/copywrong/Nina_Paley/

I actually emailed Nina and asked her why she posted the video of her
TEDx talk (Copyright is Brain Damage) on YouTube instead of a site
that explicitly allows offline downloading, and she told me that this
particular video was posted by TED, not her, that she made no decisions
about its hosting and that she didn't have an offline copy.  She agreed
with me about the choice of video hosts, and encouraged me to pull her
video off YouTube and repost it elsewhere - so I did just that. :)
