YouTube is an on demand stream. It would be comparable to recording a pay per view movie that you purchased. Is that legal? (The question isn't rhetorical, but I seriously doubt it.)
- hunter2_ 6y agoWhat if your intent is to shift to a time when Youtube doesn't exist?
- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoIt when you don't have access to it (plane flight, etc). That sounds like time shifting to me.
- McDyver 6y agoIf, for example, you bought a movie and downloaded it to watch on a plane when you can't have access to streaming, why wouldn't it be legal?
- Reelin 6y agoThat would be an interesting argument. I suspect it would be illegal because a pay per view stream is typically time limited. But if the stream itself were still valid while you were on the plane ... ?
- kzrdude 6y agoWhat about using youtube-dl as the only technical way to play it on a low power device, like with mpv on an Rpi or old laptop. That's a kind of tech adaption of the streaming/playback mode (and I've done it a ton on previous laptops)
