Re:Music industry is suing youtube-dl hosters by TimTheTinker on Friday January 14, 2022 @01:44AM (#29931315)
Consider this: every DVD and Blu-Ray player is working for them. It has region encoding, and a blessed DeCSS decoder. They don't mind that.

But if you build your own Blu-Ray player and distribute the plans for others to do so as well, they'll be legally on top of you in a jiffy.

YouTube-dl is like that homemade Blu-Ray player -- it's something that's working on your behalf, not theirs.
