As explained in "Lawful Masses with Leonard French" [1] it is enough to have marketing material which advertised copyright infringement to be taken down.

Don't know if it is enough to claim you can download Youtube videos to fulfill this point. From my point of view it is thin ice these days to claim anything...

The referenced video has a CC-BY license. Downloading and sharing is therefore legal according to copyright law. Anyway, in most countries downloading per se is not illegal when the content wasn't obviously illegaly uploaded. No copyright protection mechanism was circumvented.

At the start of his latest video he indicates the fact that it's not in the readme/end user marketing and just appears in an internal test case, and also that test case appears to be only obtaining metadata and not the video content seems to have changed his mind somewwhat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCrJM-MrKyI
