Invidious is different from Vanced in that Vanced was a mod on top of the main YouTube application, while Invidious is just a different frontend with presumably no infringement of YouTube IP or code or TOS. Now, youtube-dl got the infamous copyright complaint by RIAA because they advertised using it to download copyrighted music[0], so perhaps a stronger case could be made if any code within Invidious used more hidden APIs or otherwise shows using it to watch Standard YouTube License videos without fulfilling the quid pro quo of watching ads.

- crtasm 5y ago> because they advertised using it to download copyrighted music Their unit tests used some music videos, and only because Youtube's website uses different javascript for such videos. It's a stretch to call that advertising, I don't believe I'd ever read the tests code before the complaint.
