I seriously doubt that this would be an issue at all if they believed it ended at "they kept it". They think youtube-dl (and similar programs) are enabling people to share these files widely, not just to save them.
- jvanderbot 5y agoThat's essentially what I contest: They aren't going after sharing, they're going after keeping. It's youtube-dl, not youtube-ul.
- smt88 5y agoI agree with you, and I think the music industry's abuse of the legal system should be criminal. That said, they don't know if youtube-dl users are planning to share their files in torrents, upload them to random websites, etc. I think their goal is just to prevent anyone listening to music in DRM-free environments, regardless of how harmful of a crusade they have to go on.
