So why does the official site not allow direct downloads? Why do we need projects like yt-dlp to download? Why is YouTube constantly changing so that yt-dlp and others need to keep up to keep being able to download?
Edit: and with that explanation nothing would be piracy?
Official site allows direct downloads, the option is just hidden from less savvy users. What you’re arguing is basically the “you don’t access the content as google means to, so it’s piracy” shit that’s used to scare people away from adblockers too
I think piracy starts from where you start distributing restricted content to other people, to allow them to also enjoy that content. That’s also very based
It’s not piracy to download YouTube videos. You already do that when you watch the video on your device.
