.. pirate determination is a thing to behold, as is crazed-repetitive digital grabs.. Its not a fair or accurate characterization to dismiss it as "making people's lives harder" .. it is remarkable that the Debian distros now include ytdl; lets do what is reasonable to make it continue

You can’t exactly pirate a youtube video, since they’re all publicly available.

That's not really how piracy works. I say this as an advocate of it.
