The Pirate Bay would disagree? Somehow they've been mostly online for over 10 years despite blatantly and obviously facilitating copyright infringement.
Now YouTube-DL doesn't actively intend for its software to be used for infringement, however its inherent capability to do so is apparently enough to piss off the media industry, so maybe it's best to learn from the aforementioned "expert" in this field and move to infrastructure that's outright immune to the industry's complaints?
