Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA by panny on Saturday October 24, 2020 @02:07AM (#24877303)
It doesn't have DRM because youtube download only extracts the direct download link and downloads them. There is no DRM on youtube. Example from the alleged offending link,

youtube-dl --skip-download --print-json https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY

You can easily copy the links from the formats into your browser and they will play, you can wget them, anything. There is no DRM there, and if anyone convinced you otherwise, they lied.
