I don't think that analogy holds because the "recording" is being done by a third party service. I think a better analogy would be a business where you called and requested they record songs X, Y, and Z off of the radio and send you the cassette. I'm pretty sure a service like that would have been shut down in "ye olde days".
A tape recorder would be more like using clive and ffmpeg to strip the audio yourself. As far as I know, clive and similar tools have never been hassled by YouTube/Google.
