IANAL, but regardless, according to RIAA, youtube-dl is circumventing the "DRM" built into YouTube, and therefore they're violating anti-circumvention parts of the DMCA. Therefore a DMCA claim can suffice to take it down.
Perhaps if youtube-dl used different examples (i.e. videos not protected by anti-circumvention) perhaps they could have avoided this.

- saddlerustle 6y agoVideos with obfuscated request signatures can be downloaded by youtube-dl. A german court ruled this is an effective technological protection measure.
- wang_li 6y agoA German court sets no precedent in US law.
