Without the existence of youtube-dl, youtube itself is necessarily commuting copyright infringement over the a good portion of the CC-By-SA works uploaded to youtube.
(not all of them, since the uploader grants youtube a license... but if the work has copyright holders who aren't the uploader, it applies)
- slaymaker1907 6y agoI think in that case the copyright infringement would be the uploader rather than YouTube, but IANAL.

- nullc 6y agoThere are CC-By-SA works uploaded to youtube by google employees while at work.
- kzrdude 6y agoI think you have a good case, if the copyright holder/author is also someone else than the uploader.
- wang_li 6y agoOnly if the employee is doing the upload as a function of their job can google have any liability. In any other circumstance google s protected by the safe harbor provisions of the law.
