Not at all, I've been installing the latest releases of youtube-dl from PyPI via pip for years. In fact, it's still there. The RIAA takedown has had no effect (so far) on my usage of youtube-dl. The RIAA clearly doesn't have any understanding about how open source Python programs are commonly distributed.
