If ytdl-ing playlists is considered pirating - yep, for sure. Personally, I do it because youtube has the most complete, without any close competition, music collection (in varying quality).

Playing music off youtube is now the norm in my circle. It's definitely going to dent sales.

I don't like spotify and similar services, and try to buy my favorite music online if I can, but invariably am forced to torrents because it's hard to get where I am.

I'm amazed the music and movie business is finding it so hard to adapt.
