Okay, what again prevents me from making a service that films a browser watching youtube? Could they do anything against that? No? Then ytdl will continue to be a thing.
- YetAnotherNick 5y agoMaybe fear of law. e.g. recording a movie from theatre is a criminal offence.
- Tenoke 5y agoPresumably they can take legal action against you if you distribute it and make it harder to access and find by others. Also the quality will likely be lower.
- izacus 5y agoI'm pretty sure DMCA has a clause that can hit you with a massive fine over that. Remember, US has sold all of their freedoms off to DRM content owners.
- zeepzeep 5y agoI mean technically. And yes the US (and EU) needs a copyright reform :)
- Mindwipe 5y agoYou mean for other people to use? You'd lose any copyright case in Europe. You mean for your own personal use? I'm pretty sure if they limit it only to people who can be bothered to set up a camera pointing to a monitor and cleaned of reflections and lighting artefacts etc etc then the labels would be okay with that given 99.999999% of people won't.
