The question is that, AFAIK, there is nothing to circumvent by downloading from Youtube: there's no DRM or anything at all to actually be cracked. Right?
To over-simplify, you just need to implement a streaming client that saves to disk. That's the reason there are a gazillion youtube downloaders and custom, also open-source, clients that can "show" Youtube.
Thus, unless I've been misinformed and, extrapolating a little, they could just as well take down 'wget' in the same go because it also downloads potentially copyright-infringing files over various protocols.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI've seen a lot of speculation that the "rolling cipher" on certain Youtube videos could be classified as a protection scheme. I'm actually more interested in what this could mean for Adblockers, which often need to employ a variety of tricks to get around anti-adblocking tech on websites.
